1
00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:13,000
today I have a rather interesting Hardware combination this is an Intel

2
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:18,680
server board okay and this particular one is the s1200 KP and then I also have

3
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:24,560
a matching Intel xon processor so this is an E3

4
00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:27,840
1260l so that's a 2.4 GHz zeeon chip and

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:32,040
what this is meant for is low

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,640
power low heat output applications where

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:38,040
you need server reliability so it's no secret that Intel makes motherboards I

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,879
mean it's not something that I've really done too much of on my particular

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,960
Channel but they do make motherboards it's also no secret that Intel makes

10
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:49,199
some of the most reliable motherboards out there so if you were going to build

11
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:53,120
something like a very small form factor uh server machine whether it's for home

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:57,359
use or SMB use you're going to throw it in a closet somewhere and basically

13
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:02,920
forget about it I don't see a reason why you wouldn't want to use a configuration

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:06,200
like this another possible application based on the motherboard itself which

15
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,960
I'll actually here I'll get into that in a minute let's look at the accessories would be something like a uh like a Nas

16
00:01:10,119 --> 00:01:16,320
or a storage server if you don't want to use a pre-boxed solution you want to use

17
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:19,920
a custom software or something like that you could use a product like this so in

18
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:25,439
terms of included accessories there's not a whole lot there's an IO Shield

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,000
there are two SATA cables although I got

20
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,759
to say they feel pretty darn high quality for uh included SATA cables nice

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,479
we've got a little diagram of all the stuff on the board which you don't need

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,640
because I'm about to tell you all the stuff on the board uh we've got Intel

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,960
enabled acceleration server acceleration

24
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:45,759
Alliance okay sure we've got the Intel

25
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:49,920
server board quick reference which shows you how to install your stuff on the

26
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,240
thing and finally we have a driver disc which you shouldn't use you should

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:57,960
download the latest off the Intel website so now let's have a look at the board

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,039
itself LGA 1155 socket so you're going

29
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,600
to want to use a Zeon on this particular board um which is not really that

30
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:10,800
different from a desktop uh Core I5 or core i7 processor other than the

31
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,080
additional validation that a Zeon chip goes through so when you buy server

32
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:18,000
grade components you are paying for reliability so that's what it brings to

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:23,000
the table so you've got your Zeon socket here you've got a PCI e6x slot here

34
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,120
which means you can use this for almost any number of things because that 16x

35
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,760
slot gives you the potential to put a raid card in here it gives you the

36
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:35,879
potential to put a very Advanced network card in here or whatever else that you

37
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:39,480
would want to do in terms of included

38
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:40,840
RAM support we've got dual DDR3 dim

39
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,879
slots so those are supporting dual Channel memory and you can put up to 16

40
00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:50,360
gigs in here so that's not bad considering the ITX form factor we've

41
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,760
got a 24 pin power as well as four pin power for the CPU directly you can see

42
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:58,760
the CPU vrm circuitry is right here as well as the CPU fan header and an oh

43
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:05,239
sorry CPU fan header and an additional fan header we've also got um sorry we've

44
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:10,440
got four SATA ports so two of them are SATA 36 gbit per second and two of them

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:16,080
are s to 3 gbit per second we've got front USB right here so that's USB 2 and

46
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:19,159
then we've got our front panel connectors over here so everything's all

47
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,599
laid out in a pretty straightforward fashion I would definitely recommend

48
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:26,360
using an air cooling Solution on this board that has a down-draft cooler so

49
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,439
that you make sure you're cooling these vrm components you can see what Intel's

50
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:33,560
done is they've actually stood these components on up with metal sinks on

51
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,879
them in order to make sure that they get adequate cooling as opposed to laying

52
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:40,439
them down directly on top of the motherboard so that has allowed them as

53
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:45,799
long as you have decent air flow around them to adequately cool the vrm without

54
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,400
installing an additional heat sink on it so here we've got the chipset uh heat

55
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,560
sink and then on the back we see the I/O this is a server board so it's pretty

56
00:03:52,040 --> 00:04:00,439
basic we've got four usb2 ports 2 GB Ethernet ports and one DVI port remember

57
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:04,720
this chip does have Onboard video HD 2000 Graphics so you're not going to

58
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,120
need uh well yeah that's pretty much it so

59
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:15,439
that'll power the DVI port so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

60
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,280
Intel s1200 KP Server Motherboard the

61
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:20,680
ITX Server Motherboard and I'll actually be looking at using this in an upcoming

62
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,479
NC Tech tips we're going to have a look at Windows Home Server with a fractal

63
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,360
design Define sorry not Define array case so that supports up to six hard

64
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:35,199
drives which means we're going to need a storage controller to go with it and we'll be using the Zeon E31

65
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:38,080
1260l in addition to that in order to power it don't forget to subscribe for
