Known Issues

Would not install from internal CD-ROM, had to use USB CD-ROM. Internal Intel 82579LM NIC is not detected (used E1G42ETBLK instead). Motherboard RAID is not supported. "RAID1" volume actually appear as two different hard drives.

Additional Comments

Comment regarding SFF model:
There is enough room for two E1G42ETBLK low profile NIC's.
Oversize (tall) DDR3 RAM modules will not fit.
