 The main reason for these notes is a reference to assist me with maintaining my home server. This includes upgrading the existing or setting up a new server in the future.

+=====Supermicro Computers with BMC and IPMI=====
+I have 3 computers from Supermicro with BMC and IPMI. The Supermicro provided utility program IPMIView is good, but the iKVM console redirection facility is woefully unreliable and also seems to be poorly documented! For more details on this refer to [[home_server:home_server_setup:other_services:ipmi_console]].  The 3 computers I have are:
+  * Supermicro A1SAi-2750F that is based upon the Intel C2750 SoC Atom server processor (8 core), which has 32GB RAM and I now use as my back-up server
+  * Supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F that is based upon the Intel C3750  SoC Atom server processor (8 core), which has 32GB RAM and I now use as my primary server
+  * Supermicro X11SBA-LN4F/F that is based upon the Intel Pentium N3700 a low power processor (4 core), which has 8GB RAM and I use as my PPPoE router, with my VDSL Router, with NFtables firewall stateful router, Bind9 DNS and ISC-DHCP placed into by-pass mode (modem only operation)
+  * All these units are supplied with 4 Intel based NIC + 1 BMC NIC with the ASpeed 2400 BMC controller
+On occassion I have had problems with the operations of these machines.  The computer would just halt, however the BMC / IMPI still seemed to operate.  This has happened now 2 times that I can remember in the past 5 years with 3 such computer setups, so it is very infrequent.  I hope the frequency does not increase!.  The solution to fix was very simple.  A cold reset of the BMC!  This is most effectively achieved by turning off the computer power supply!
