Anyone here use SuperMicro IPMI? I scored a slightly used X7SPE-HF motherboard/D510 combo and cannot get IPMI to work on the silly thing. It's enabled in the BIOS, all the jumpers are where they should be. This motherboard uses a shared LAN connection for IPMI, I've tried both NICs without success, making sure to remove power to fully initialize the IPMI/BMC before trying again. The thing never gets a DHCP address and I can't set a static IP on it from the BIOS, you apparently have to do that from the IPMI configuration utility or the web interface which would require it to be connected to the network. When I check the LAN configuration settings in the BIOS it always shows "Channel Number Status:Wrong Channel Number" and I can't figure out what this means. I'm assuming it's bad, usually things that are wrong are bad. Anyway, I've exhausted my google-fu on this one, I'm sure I'm missing something blatantly obvious.....
Any ideas??
