MDKRUSH, thanks for all your great info.
I'm not really a server noob - I've always built FreeNAS boards with consumer mobos, but now I'll be getting one of the Avoton boards with ECC RAM.
Anyway, I've heard of IPMI but never actually had a board with it, and I've heard you can turn the system on/off with it?
How do you access IPMI? Is is through a web interface with one of the client PC's?
Thanks again!
