LTT guys, Just use server board to try the card. Don't use desktop ones. It worked usually in PCI-E x16 slot with PCI videocard, but if your server board has some internal graphics that should be fine. You can ask your seller if he/she has the debug board for that, it had POST codes indicator and COM port, so you can get its output to the serial console and can read POST codes (remember it has OS inside). Pre-production samples were really unstable and sometimes died without any reason, so that may be the reason why your seller found it in a trash box.

That is correct driver/software, but you need to check if it has firmware for A* revisions as they are incompatible with B* revisions.

All characters and events depicted in this post are entirely fictitious. Any similarity to actual events or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. All images are renders. Linus, KNC A1s are never intended to be videocards, I think the fact that you have it with some video outputs may just indicate that those ones are either refurbished ones with old PCBs or they just made it out of inertia. I am unable to find my old pictures with real Larabee which as far as I can remember could work only in text mode out-of-box, but I am pretty sure they had black shrouds. Next gen has metal shrouds and then blue ones. So, you are having almost production grade board, you can download the drivers on official Intel site, but they are for calculations only. Here are photos of KNF E0 which was the first add in card Intel admited to be a co-processor, not a videocard They are taken in the early 2011.

I don't like Killer ethernet shit either, but this MB comes with Intel ethernet according to the specs. Which is a plus, I think.
