How can I get this server boot from a drive? I was hoping to use my SataDOM but blue sata ports do not seem to power up the SataDOM I have. Now I am not sure where to put an SATA drive and power it.

Mine came with LSI card, either it is 3008 (or 3108 I don't know the difference) and I cannot get Windows to see the drives on the LSI card. In any case, I don't want the OS to be on the SAS card.
There are two 3 pin power connectors near the onboard sata connectors that you can use: Amazon.com: Supermicro CBL-PWEX-0625 3 Pin to 2 Pin SATADOM Power Cable, 12.7cm, 28AWG, RoHS: Computers & Accessories

Perhaps I misunderstood, which power cables are you referring to?

If possible can you post picture of power cable pluged in ? It is hard to judge how large power connectors are

To answer my own question both connectors provide 5v for satadom I am using them for boot on both servers I got.
Does anyone knows if the sas ports are nvme ? how do I install u2 nvme ssd ?

No satadom power cable on motherboard there are two sata ports and two connectors in front of sata ports the power cable included with my satadom is too small I am not sure if this cable works Amazon.com: Supermicro CBL-PWEX-0625 3 Pin to 2 Pin SATADOM Power Cable, 12.7cm, 28AWG, RoHS: Computers & Accessories
Did this cable work? I bought Innodisk 64GB SATADOM-SL 3ME Solid State Drive | eBay after your link and realized that included power cable does not match with the motherboard header.

Does anybody else's go wah wah wah wah....... ? I bought a couple of the double fan wall fans but no combo of swapouts makes any difference. Neither does unplugging either PSU. So either I got bad fans from eBay or both PSU fans are bad.

What brand of fans did you get ? You could try different fan controler
Fans are identical to the ones it came with. Same part #, same plug.

Fan controller??? I haven't found any way to control the fans. :(

You can buy fan controller board on ebay for the server and I guess you better off getting Noctua fans

I found one Quanta fan control backplane on eBay but it's not the correct one, plugs are different. Do you have a link to the correct one? Thanks.
