Server-class motherboards like the Asrock EP2C603 have built-in management that allows controlling power and usually kvm-like access to the system, via the network. I don’t think I’ve ever plugged a keyboard and monitor into my server after the first time (to set up the iLO thing itself). If you’re building a home server from scratch the right choice of motherboard can save you the need of yet another box to wrangle. Tiny Pilot is still really cool :)
- smartbit 4y agoFor home-systems that run idle most of the time, the problem with Intelligent Platform Management Interface IPMI is the power consumption of the Baseboard Management Controller BMC which is, if I remember well, around 8Watt. That is more than a carefully tweaked 12Volt-only Motherboard + idle CPU like those of Fujitsu eg the D3644-B https://www.kontron.com/en/products/d3644-b-uatx/p157722 https://www.kontron.com/en/products/d3644-b-uatx/p157722
