Hi,
Does somebody know if you need the M3290/M3291 daughter card to remotely
power up & power down the system(mayby reset)? Witch of the two cards
would you recommend me if it doesn't support it without?
And how does that work with the agent, manager, ...?

It's possible to use the "Wake-on-LAN" option to start en shut down
system. (http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/5721-PB00-R.pdf)
The M3291 is more advanced, but your motherboard only supports the
M3289 (http://www.tyan.com/support/html/faq_tso.html).
The installation is not easy. There is almost no manual. The manual
accompanied doesn't cover all the problems (and possible bugs).
The software is based on Java, so it should run on every system. It's
not really tested on Unix/Linux.
Both cards can reset/start/stop/etc. your system remotely.
Forget the agent. Only use the console and manager. The manager has to
run on an seperate system in the same subnet as your system(s). You
can use the console to connect with the manager and manager your
system(s).
Read the "Installation Guide"
(ftp://ftp.tyan.com/software/tso/m3291/manuals/InstallGuide.pdf) to
get a good impression functions of the M3291. See also

Thanks for your reply.
I mailed to the tech. support of tyan and they recommend a K8E-SLI based
board (s2866*). But what are the bioses & firmwares I have to flash?
Also the manager daemon would that also run on a headless gentoobox so
without X(I ask that because you say its a java app.

You have to flash the BIOS from the motherboard, Network/Broadcom chip
and the SMDC card itself.
I don't use Gentoo, so I don't know. It should work on Redhat, but I
only tested it unsuccesful with an old Fedora Core 2 version.

I suggest you try to use ipmitool - its commandline based and without X and
java.
On our S2882 we had problems to get IPMI + ipmitool working, but this could
be solved by one of the tyan developers, who kindly provided a fixed bios
for the M3289.
Cheers,
Bernd |

Wow I wish I read this forum before I bought my K8E..
I am trying to decide which daughterboard to buy. I am getting little help from Tyan (Bernd, could you pass me the email address of the helpful tyan support tech?).
Does anyone know for sure which board is compatible with the K8E? (Not the K8E SLI)
Also, if anyone knows how to read data from a SMDC DME1737 chip I'd also love to hear from you.
