The board doesn’t come with any extra on it. There is one used but it doesn’t boot without that card. Not really sure what it does. It’s a Dell Poweredge R410 Server: looks like this: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/er4AAOSwNDVfyTuN/s-l1600.jpg

Do you mean the card with the SODIMM next to the CPU? that is a raid card, and it looks like it is responsible for the front drive bays.

Oh yeah it def had the SAS Backplane wires, I’d switched to using the SATA on board since it doesn’t have the same HD capacity limits. I think it was a max of 2tb with the backplane and I’m using a couple of 10tbs. Maybe their is some weird bios that requires it to be on board?
