DOES NOT SUPPORT SERVER 2012 or RAID 10

SUPERMICRO SYS-7046A-T Workstation/Server Nehalem-ready Barebone, Dual LGA1366 Intel Xeon 5600/5500 Series (4U Rackmountable)

Pros: Quiet and Fair price

Cons: The motherboard does NOT support Server 2012 or Raid 10 as specified. I paid a technician $2,500 to get this machine up and running. They tried everything. In the end, the best they could do was load a discontinued copy of Server 2008 on Raid 5 and only have access to 2TB of hard drive space. This system is falsely advertised by SUPERMICRO. Also, newegg offers bundle and save with server 2012, why do this if it is not supported by the motherboard?

Overall Review: Doe Not support and current server software by Microsoft.
