ASRock Rack

N.B. ➡️ Please be advised that we have noted serious deficiencies in ASRock Rack’s quality assurance, leading to different IPMI firmware versions for the same motherboard leading to potentially different experiences, bugs introduced between versions, IPMI freezing and requiring a power cycle to “reboot”, and numerous other issues.

Please update to the latest IPMI firmware for your ASRock Rack server or motherboard before shipping, to give the server the best chance of operating error-free.

For ASRock Rack servers and motherboards, there is just one operation to perform: #

  • Factory reset IPMI

Factory reset IPMI: #

  • Reboot the server
  • Press F2 or DEL for BIOS when prompted
  • Scroll to the Server Mgmt section
  • Select the BMC Tools option
  • Select the Load BMC Default Settings option
    • No Load BMC Default Settings option? Please update the IPMI firmware for the motherboard, using the instructions provided by ASRock Rack for the motherboard model. If there’s still no Load BMC Default Settings option, refer to the documentation for the motherboard model to determine how to factory reset IPMI.
  • Confirm the questions to reset the BMC default settings.
  • Save and exit BIOS.

The server will reboot.

That completes setup of your ASRock Rack server or motherboard prior to shipping to a Dedicated.com datacenter. We look forward to receiving and racking your server!

If you are unable to complete any of these steps, or they do not match your server, or any other problem, please reach out to let us know before shipping as we would much rather assist you with configuring your server properly, versus receiving an improperly configured server that we then need to configure upon arrival on site, which will result in remote hands fees being levied.
