hey all, I just ordered all the parts for a WHS.
=================================
SUPERMICRO MBD-X7SPA-HF-O
Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB)
LIAN LI PC-Q08B
SeaSonic X650 Gold 650W
3xSAMSUNG Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB
=================================
I also have 3x1.5tb Seagate HDd's, 2 of which I will slowly migrate in to the server.
I plan to try to run this headless from day one. kinda a test for me since this will be my first server (I have worked on and with servers before but it has been a few years.)
anyways, I am completely clueless on IPMI. for example I head about IP KVM which can either be Side-Band or Out-of-Band. does that mean for best results I should run 2 LAN cables to the computer, one for data and one for IP KVM?
also any general hints about IPMI or a good easy reference for it? I also plan on setting up a DYDNS or similar for this server, how difficult will this be? and can it be done relatively safely?
also any other ideas about what I should do would be helpful.
Thanks all
Bob Stone
