Server Hardware for Essentials 2012

[idata]

Hello Intel Support Community,

I'm looking at building a small business server for a client using the following components. Does anyone know if the following would be suitable for the intel S1200KPR motherboard? Some if these components are not listed as tested with this series board.

MS Server 2012 Essentials

http://altech.com.au/dealer/displayproduct.aspx KVR13E9-4I - 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC Unbuffered CL9 DIMM with Thermal Sensor, Intel Validated Memory for Single Socket E3 Series Xeon CPU based solutions

http://altech.com.au/dealer/displayproduct.aspx BX80637E31220V2 - Intel Quad Core Xeon CPU E3-1220v2, LGA1155, 3.2GHz 8MB CACHE, 4 Threads, TurboBoost, WITH FAN, 22nm (CPU is listed)

Thanks

You can find Microsoft Windows* Server 2012 driver availability for the Intel® Server Board S1200KP here:

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-033765.htm http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-033765.htm

We strongly suggest using validated components to minimize issues with your new build. You can find that information under the Compatibility heading on the Intel® Server Board S1200KP http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/server/sb-s1200kp home page.

Thanks John,

I will continue to keep their old server running until the Essentials RC is a full version product. By then intel should have a better idea on compatible hardware, drivers ect. Failing that I'll try another m/b.
