They will also give an error if the expected Dell fans (5 pin fan connector) and front panel connector aren't detected. Pressing F1 bypasses the errors, and you can boot. But you'll need to press F1 at every boot.

I've found that Intel Stock Coolers and some air coolers with 92mm fans seem to work OK without an error on this and the 9020 SFF boards, so long as the connector is rewired to work with the Dell 5 pin fan header.

I've yet to find a non-Dell fan for the system fan connector that will let the system boot without a "Press F1 to Continue" error.

This board is an odd size, will definitely fit uATX, but will also fit in many ITX cases if they can accommodate the extra depth.
