So far so good - Linux NAS build

Supermicro X9SAE-V Desktop Motherboard - Intel C216 Chipset - Socket H2 LGA-1155 - Retail Pack
Supermicro X9SAE-V Desktop Motherboard - Intel C216 Chipset - Socket H2 LGA-1155 - Retail Pack

Pros: Working well so far with: CPU: Intel E3-1230V2 LGA1155 Processor BX80637E31230V2 Chassis: Supermicro CSE-822T 2U case. BUT, the power supply BARELY REACHES the motherboard connectors. Drives: WD1003FBYX and WD10EFRX drives. Memory: Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 ECC CL11 DIMM KVR16E11/8

Cons: Fan 4 connector is near the "rear" of the board where the keyboard connector is. This necessitates a fan extension cable to reach fans in a typical 2U rackmount chassis. (All the other fan connectors are at the "front" edge of the board where the power LED is.)

Overall Review: eth1 did not come up, although it showed up in lspci and dmesg. Connecting the port to the network switch showed no lights on the motherboard port. Turned out the solution was to completely remove the power and pull the CMOS battery (as is the solution for many Realtek/Gigabyte boards in the past year.)

Works great with Blackberry 8830

Pros: It works.

Cons: It doesn't suck.
