Specifications

The board is not the most perfect one for use in a rack mountable server. The main reason for this is that you have to install at least two PCI cards in order to build a decent server: the PCI IDE RAID card and a video card. Unfortunately there is no place for an additional LAN adapter because a 2U case can't accept more than two PCI cards.
