Question 1

Does it come with SATA Cables for the HDs not included?

Accepted Answer

It comes with ONE right-angled SATA cable as well as a couple power cables coming off the motherboard. If you're planning on adding additional storage you'll have to grab more SATA cables. I recommend more angled cables as it makes for easier setup in the case. Good luck!

Question 2

Does it come with server OS?

Accepted Answer

No, not at this price. The best thing to do is get it at this price and buy something like Server 2016 Essentials. It was the most cost effective, unless you need a VDI.

Question 3

Include the keyboard and mouse  in the box?

Accepted Answer

No Keyboard, mouse or hard drive.

Question 4

Can i play some games whit Pc's like lol, wow, ff14 and D3?

Accepted Answer

This unit performs extremely well for what it was designed for, unfortunately gaming was not what it was designed for. With a $200 graphics card, it could play some games but would not be recommended. You need to spend at least $700 and build it yourself  to step into a gaming PC. You can find some ready-made gaming units starting at about $1000 but with the latest PC gaming releases why bother? The good news is there are great gaming options in this price range available but they are console units like PS4 and XBOX 360. Due to numbers and money, console games are the only ones that can get financing to be produced. You missed the window on great PC games, it ended about 10 years ago.

Question 5

Which Intel NIC driver is needed for this system?  There are several different ones listed on Lenovo's website under Network Drivers.

Accepted Answer

The specified Network Adapter for this server is: Intel Connection 1217-LM . You can find it by right clicking the start button on the lower left side of the screen. Then scroll up to Device Manager. Click on it. It will open a dialog box showing your servers devices. Click on Network Adapters and you will see your Lan device name. That is the one to install. You now have to get it from the Lenovo Site.  I hope this helps you.

Question 6

Question 7

Can you point me to ram chips that will work in this server?

Accepted Answer

I purchased this server plus 18GB of the memory shown below  here at newegg and have no problems:
Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Server Memory Model CT2KIT102472BD160B

Question 8

What is the max size/total HD space supported in a RAID 5? TIA

Accepted Answer

The system was designed for two full size SATA drives, the included PS will support up to 3 drives but you will need a 5.25" adapter for a third drive. 2.5" drives can also be used with added adapters. The system can also accommodate up to two M2 type drives. The RAID is unlimited. No software or drives were included with my configuration. I can also add that it exceeds expectation being used as a PLEX server.

Question 9

If 4TB SSDs were made available in the future, could I install one in this computer? And do SSDs work at all in this server?

Accepted Answer

SSD's do work on this server.  I have used them many times.
