I have that good old (but brand new) A1SRi-2758F board with Intel Atom 2758F CPU (yes, the same one with CPU failure in some early revisions). In addition, I have a Supermicro PCI-E Add-On Card for up to two NVMe SSDs AOC-SLG3-2M2-O with two Samsung PM9A3 m.2 SSDs inst...

After series of verification, this could be related with X710 adapter card and SuperMicro H11SSL-i compatibility as the issue or the error did not appear when the same card was tested on old SuperMicro motherboard. We highly suggest coordinating again with board manufacturer...
Found my old dusty UNIX notes :)... Let's see if I dare experiment with it the next few days ... One thing with that board. IPMI that is built in on that board has an own LAN port. BUT, it can be opened against the other two LANs. This is risky! Think about it. Z Z300...
