Will these parts work?

[Dice]

The BIOS can be flashed by IPMI.

Does the motherboard run IPMI without cpu installed into socket?

Meanwhile, 2.0 has been put for months, do you think it's really possible to get NOS on one of these?

Most definitely.

Think so.

It runs IPMI with poweroff to the CPU.

@Ericloewe can perhaps fill in.

Just got back from work, I will have to read about this IPMI since I am not sure what this is about. But correct me if I am wrong, if I use this IPMI to update the motherboard, can I then use the G4560 cpu instead?

This is the latest Kaby Lake CPU family.
If you end up with a non-recently flashed motherboard, your setup won't work.
The bios cannot be flashed with that CPU.

1. Make sure you get an actual 2.x (IIRC) bios
or
2. Make sure you find a Sky Lake CPU to pop in to flash your bios, in order for you to use the Kaby Lake CPU.
If you dont have a SkyLake CPU sitting around, you'd be better off by just getting a Sky Lake for the build.

Is this the BIOS update I need to get if I am going to IPMI

click the link above and then I clicked "update your BIOS" and found the BIOS version R 2.0a

Some people have successfully used the IPMI BIOS flasher without a compatible CPU.

The BIOS can be flashed by IPMI. Yes, that requires a code from supermicro, but at this stage I think they owe you that as the board is defective without the update.

Meanwhile, 2.0 has been put for months, do you think it's really possible to get NOS on one of these?

I got my motherboard from Newegg (X11SSM-F) and it already had the latest IPMI and BIOS preflashed.

Yes, and you do have to enter in a key that you can buy online (requires interaction to the seller by giving them your IPMI MAC address).
