I've just performed the first boot on a system with a Supermicro X11SSM-F board and a Pentium G4560 CPU. I ran into a few problems, however:
Anyway, I'm anxiously waiting for a chance to install FreeNAS, and I hope you can help me get past these first hurdles!
- I connected an old VGA monitor to see the POST output, but it stops at "PEI - CPU Initialization", with error 35. I googled the problem, and it seems related to the graphics mode. But how do I fix it?
- I plugged the IPMI port to my home router, and well enough, it was given an IP address. I then connected to port 80 of that IP and got a login screen (default username and password seem to be both ADMIN). The page complains immediately about the Java version. Which version of Java should i Install on my system? (I'm running Ubuntu 16.10)
- On the IPMI main page I noticed that the BIOS version is older than the one available on Supermicro's website. However, if I go to "Maintenance -> BIOS update", I get a message stating that the "License is not activated yet". But I can't find anything about the license on the box. (The seller sent me a X11SSM-F-B version. I hope that makes no difference.)
Anyway, I'm anxiously waiting for a chance to install FreeNAS, and I hope you can help me get past these first hurdles!
