May 31, 20179 yr Author 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, 20179 yr by Switchblade

May 31, 20179 yr 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.
May 31, 20179 yr Author 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.

June 8, 20179 yr Author 8 hours ago, johnnie.black said: No, it's plug and play. cool, thank you! I read that some cards need to be flashed. All of my parts came in so I'm building it this weekend. Should be running memtest by Sunday.
June 14, 20179 yr Author 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, 20179 yr by Switchblade
June 14, 20179 yr 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, 20179 yr by Diggewuff

June 14, 20179 yr 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?

June 15, 20179 yr Well okay then. I'm going to go right ahead and copy your purchase for my build. Thanks for your research! I will blame you of course if things go bad. Edited June 16, 20179 yr by andyb216
June 19, 20179 yr Author New cables are here and I can confirm that the Tripp Lite Model S508-003 is correct for the LSI 9207-8i. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28M5864 memtest ran several times with no errors so hardware seems good.
