Hi Newbie014330, I think that you are asking the question to the "wrong" forum; I think you should ask to the Proxmox board instead.

Besides that, for informational purpouse only, you should look a the motherboard model and search for the "original" BIOS and IPMI to flash (for example, AMI and so on); 99% of time, at least the BIOS, it's custom made for the server.

I suggest you, if you really need to, to dump the BIOS and IPMI before doing anything; if something goes wrong, at least, you have something to fall back.

Besides that, stick to certified HW for any platform you will use.

Have a good day,
   Thomas
