If the backplane has an expander chip, you have to use a SAS HBA card to drive your SAS disk. If the backplane doesn't have an expander chip, you can use SATA(motherboard) to SAS cable to connect your backplane.

Because my this board I decided to sell last month(repaired from supermicro and retired 2 years ago) , no one use it. If you don't mind, I can ship my x11dph-i to you to finish the "upgrade guide".

@RolloZ170 can you do me a favor? I took a photo from my x11dph-i (revision 1.01) , is it the pwm controller: TPS53679 ? https://www.ti.com/product/TPS53679

can I use this method to flash other c621 boards which use same MP2955A?

Expect it. :cool:

Oh, very thanks for it, but it looks my knowledge is far away from it. Will you consider post a guide for it? I have some LGA 3647 C621 boards (C621 SAGE, X10DPH-i and so on) but ready to sell them to buy LGA 4167 boards. If there is possible to make them support OEM CPUs, I'm glad to pay for...

May I know how you make X11SPM-F support those OEM CPUs? Flashed modded bios? or programmed VRM？

you can consider gigabyte MZ71-CE0 or MZ71-CE1.

For scalable xeon, I recommend use asrockrack EPC621D8A and EP2C621D12 WS (WC621D8A-2T or EP2C622D16-2T or EP2C621D16-4LP may possible support them)due to they support all scalable xeon which we have known include OEM and early ES models. But as we know some motherboard which comes from SM or...

I think intel w-2150B or w-2170B will be better if you can get these OEM cpu by cheap price (street price on taobao is just around USD 239 for w-2150B and USD 436 for w-2170B). Because they support RDIMM, so you can save money on RAM.
