Hello, I would like some advice from those with more experience.I have a SuperWorkstation 5046A-X which does not have IPMI. I found second-hand a dedicated board with IPMI (Supermicro AOC-SIMLP-B IPMI Card ), which from what I read should work on older supermicro boards. The idea is that I would not want to buy it for nothing even if it's cheap. Does anyone know if it would be compatible for the above system? The server is used as storage backup and is not turned on non-stop, however I would like a remote access to it. Thank you.

No I don't think it will. Since it came out in 2012 information is a little scarce and Supermicro removed the product page. Found this on a few sources: compatible Motherboard: X7DA3, X7DA8, X7DAE, X7DB3, X7DB8, X7DBE, X7DB8+, X7DBE+, X7DBi+, X7DB8-X, X7DBE-X, X7DBN, X7DVA-8, X7DVA-E, H8DM3-2, H8DMi-2, H8DA3-2, H8DAi-2, H8DA8-2, H8DAE-2, H8SMi-2, H8SMA-2
I'd look into PiVKM / BliKVM- they give IPMI functionality on any computer regardless of vendor.
