Specs from s2600GZ/GL Configuration guide:For those of you that bought the kalleyomalley deal on the Intel R2312GL4GS... couple questions and comments:
- Do you need the RMM4Lite AXXRMM4R kit to enable the extra IPMI features? Included items lists a "IntelRemote Management Module 4". I don't need the extra NIC but wondering what I'm not getting without the upgrade key if it's not included (remote KVM / remote USB?)
- Looks like by default only 4 of the 12 drives bays will be enabled, correct? Are you guys getting the C600 RAID upgrade kit and/or SAS expander or dropping in something like an IBM M1015 and connecting the other two SAS ports on the backplane?

I'm gonna use additional Intel RMS25JB080 with IT firmware flashed.
I believe you are right.
- V1 kit vs V2 kit: looks like the only difference between the two are the firmare versions installed so seems like it's possible to bring the V1 upto the V2 versions.
