00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:13.000
today I have a rather interesting Hardware combination this is an Intel

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:18.680
server board okay and this particular one is the s1200 KP and then I also have

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:24.560
a matching Intel xon processor so this is an E3

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:27.840
1260l so that's a 2.4 GHz zeeon chip and

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:32.040
what this is meant for is low

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.640
power low heat output applications where

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:38.040
you need server reliability so it's no secret that Intel makes motherboards I

00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:41.879
mean it's not something that I've really done too much of on my particular

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.960
Channel but they do make motherboards it's also no secret that Intel makes

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:49.199
some of the most reliable motherboards out there so if you were going to build

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:53.120
something like a very small form factor uh server machine whether it's for home

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:57.359
use or SMB use you're going to throw it in a closet somewhere and basically

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

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.200
like this another possible application based on the motherboard itself which

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

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

00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:19.920
a custom software or something like that you could use a product like this so in

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:25.439
terms of included accessories there's not a whole lot there's an IO Shield

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:27.000
there are two SATA cables although I got

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.759
to say they feel pretty darn high quality for uh included SATA cables nice

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

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

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:43.960
enabled acceleration server acceleration

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:45.759
Alliance okay sure we've got the Intel

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:49.920
server board quick reference which shows you how to install your stuff on the

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:52.240
thing and finally we have a driver disc which you shouldn't use you should

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

00:01:54.520 --> 00:02:00.039
itself LGA 1155 socket so you're going

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:05.600
to want to use a Zeon on this particular board um which is not really that

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:10.800
different from a desktop uh Core I5 or core i7 processor other than the

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.080
additional validation that a Zeon chip goes through so when you buy server

00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:18.000
grade components you are paying for reliability so that's what it brings to

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

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:27.120
which means you can use this for almost any number of things because that 16x

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.760
slot gives you the potential to put a raid card in here it gives you the

00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:35.879
potential to put a very Advanced network card in here or whatever else that you

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:39.480
would want to do in terms of included

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.840
RAM support we've got dual DDR3 dim

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:44.879
slots so those are supporting dual Channel memory and you can put up to 16

00:02:43.239 --> 00:02:50.360
gigs in here so that's not bad considering the ITX form factor we've

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:19.159
then we've got our front panel connectors over here so everything's all

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.599
laid out in a pretty straightforward fashion I would definitely recommend

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:26.360
using an air cooling Solution on this board that has a down-draft cooler so

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.439
that you make sure you're cooling these vrm components you can see what Intel's

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:33.560
done is they've actually stood these components on up with metal sinks on

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:36.879
them in order to make sure that they get adequate cooling as opposed to laying

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.439
them down directly on top of the motherboard so that has allowed them as

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:45.799
long as you have decent air flow around them to adequately cool the vrm without

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:50.400
installing an additional heat sink on it so here we've got the chipset uh heat

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

00:03:52.040 --> 00:04:00.439
basic we've got four usb2 ports 2 GB Ethernet ports and one DVI port remember

00:03:57.640 --> 00:04:04.720
this chip does have Onboard video HD 2000 Graphics so you're not going to

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:09.120
need uh well yeah that's pretty much it so

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:15.439
that'll power the DVI port so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:17.280
Intel s1200 KP Server Motherboard the

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.680
ITX Server Motherboard and I'll actually be looking at using this in an upcoming

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

00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:28.360
design Define sorry not Define array case so that supports up to six hard

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

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:38.080
1260l in addition to that in order to power it don't forget to subscribe for
