Yes, exactly the same firmware version on both the BMC and the BIOS. I 
should also mention that the software and hardware on the machines is 
exactly the same as well.

The "bad" machine did originally have a faulty motherboard and I had to 
send the whole server back to have it repaired. I thought maybe they 
hadn't hooked the BMC up to the sensors or something, but as far as I 
can tell the BMC is integrated directly into the motherboard.
