Alright, so here is issue one of a list of things wrong with this board.
I am trying to get Intel's Deployment Agent up and running to help update the bios on this board as it was shipped with what seems to be a pre-production BIOS. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want to recognize it is an S2600CP.
If anyone knows the solution to this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. And if anyone is willing to help me with some other issues as well, it would be GREATLY appreciated, as this board is becoming more of a pain than what it's worth.
