Anyone used them yet with FreeBSD? The server boards available with IPMI/iKVM are sparse thus far -- in fact, I've only found one that looks like it might fit my requirements (specifically I need iKVM, a legacy serial port and enough PCIe to handle both a LSI SAS/Sata card *and* forward expansion to 10Gb networking as required on a forward basis.)
I'm specifically considering this board https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=E3C246D4U#Specifications ... with one of the E-2100 "G" series chips to replace an aging (but still fully-functional) Westmere Xeon board. The goal is to gain CPU, memory and I/O bandwidth (collectively "performance"), keep forward optionality for network performance improvements while materially reducing power consumption/./ -- Karl Denninger [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> /The Market Ticker/ /[S/MIME encrypted email preferred]/
