Diggewuff Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Great Deal. Did you checked the jumper? Maybe the Port is even just disabled. ? Edited June 2, 2017 by Diggewuff Quote Link to comment

I checked at the time, it's not , although there's no visible damage so I could try to RMA it, but like I said I don't really need it so not worth the bother Quote Link to comment
optiman Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) well if I can connect a monitor to the vga port and don't need to add a pci video card, then I'm happy to go with the kaby lake cpu. The tech said this won't work because it doesn't have the needed power, so I'm confused by the replies here. I will need to cancel the kaby lake today or not all all, as it will ship out tomorrow. Please confirm if this will work without adding a video card. Edited May 31, 2017 by Switchblade Quote Link to comment

SSD Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Seems video card is supported based on feedback. Doesn't make sense the CPU feature would impact the video chip on the motherboard, and you have some confirmation that it should work. If that was only consideration for going kaby vs skylake, seems you have your answer. Quote Link to comment
optiman Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Thanks everyone! I'm going to stay with the Katy lake. I got confused with igpu vs onboard video. Even though the Kaby lake CPU has integrated graphics that I cannot use, I want the 73w and faster clock speeds. I can always change the mb later if I don't like this one. Again, thank you all!

I didn't see on the hardware compatibility list. Quote Link to comment

optiman Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Server is running memtest with no errors, so far My mb did come with the current bios, so booted right up. I did run into a issue, where I goofed up and ordered the wrong cables. I accidentally ordered LSI LSI00411 1m Internal Cable SFF8643 to x4 SATA HDD (mini SAS HD to SATA data port)--Avago Technologies, which has the 8643 internal connector and not the 8087 connector I need to use with my LSI 9207. For these memtest runs, I did not connect power or data to any of my unraid hard drives. This time I ordered Tripp Lite Model S508-003 3 ft. Internal SAS Cable, 4-Lane mini-SAS (SFF-8087) to 4xSATA 7pin (SFF-8482). I hope these work with my SATA III 6 Gb/s drives. I read that the 8482 7pin SATA connectors are for both data and power, but I will only use them for data, as I already have power run to all of my drives. Newegg didn't have that much to offer for 8087 to regular SATA 7 pin. Oh well, I will let memtest run for a few days, until the new sata cables are here. Oh, and on the PWM fans, I ran into the same issue as others reported, where the fans will drop to very low rpm's and then after a few seconds they will go to 100% for about 1 second and back to low again, keeps doing this, while I'm running Memtest. I hope it doesn't do this when booted into unraid. I guess I need a PWM fan controller. It takes a while to get through POST, especially with the LSI sata controller. Then again, all server boards take longer too fully post than a regular desktop mb. Edited June 14, 2017 by Switchblade Quote Link to comment
Diggewuff Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) I had the Same issue with my Fans. They are to Slow on low PWM value. They will keep doing this. But maybe there will be a workaround soon. Have a Look at page 23 Edited June 14, 2017 by Diggewuff Quote Link to comment

Diggewuff Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I have a x11ssi-ln4f and it didn't worked. I lowered the Fan 1234 and Fan A thresholds in the ipmi frontend. Whitch exact thresholds did you lowered? And whitch method did you have used? Quote Link to comment
