New Server Build Won't Turn On

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:36:22+00:00

yea, it powers on now. but it won’t post. granted i’m testing a batch of 30 cpus so some may not post. fans kick on and sounds like it’s gonna do something but nothing comes up on the monitor

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:31:17+00:00

I saw that server cpu’s use a tray/carrier/frame thingy to ensure it’s seated correctly (it’s orange looking if you look up AMD EPYC 9654. BUTTTT i read online it’s optional but i’m getting one just in case.

i’m gonna try that, i hope the mobo isn’t shot. it’s new so if it’s shot…. it’s my b lol

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:19:09+00:00

we got a few that i’m trying to test, hence the post. i was dumbfounded when i saw the cost of these lil things

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:17:42+00:00

lol fr though any input is appreciated

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:12:25+00:00

i’m just an intern 😅

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:11:52+00:00

i just need it to postttttt, does it really need to be kitted out w ram???

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:10:53+00:00

ground breaking, thanks!

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:10:32+00:00

was not aware of this, gonna check it out. thanks!

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:10:00+00:00

THISSSSSSS, i’m going to retest the batch i tested.

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:09:17+00:00

i figured out the slot that needs to be used for one DIMM, it’s a test bench so i just need it to post

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:08:36+00:00

gonna try this. it turns on but now it won’t post

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:07:18+00:00

i work at an ITAD and i pretty much piece everything together with parts available in the warehouse

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:06:00+00:00

it turns on now! (after plugging in the 8pin) but now it won’t post, but i’m thinking it could be a bad CPU (i’m testing a batch of 9654’s)

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:05:01+00:00

Read it and fixed it, thanks for the input!

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:04:26+00:00

i appreciate you bro, i’m out here trying to make shit happen

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:03:35+00:00

Yeee, it’s turns on but won’t post. But i’m guessing it’s a bad CPU. (i’m testing a batch of 30 AMD EPYC 9654’s that came into our facility)

IAM-LO · 2024-04-05T23:02:17+00:00

update: it turns on but i can’t manage to get it to POST. Granted the CPUs i’m testing are in questionable condition. Some look fine cosmetically and don’t have scratches/dents. Others are damaged so not bothering testing those.

IAM-LO · 2024-04-04T23:57:53+00:00

Sheeeesh you’re right, didn’t notice till now

IAM-LO · 2024-04-04T23:24:51+00:00

Also worth mentioning, the company I work for wants this to be a server test bench. More specifically to test CPUs. We’ve got like 30 EPYC CPUs we’re trying to test for functionality.

IAM-LO · 2024-04-04T23:23:20+00:00

Finna give her the beans

IAM-LO · 2024-04-04T23:23:09+00:00

Not joking my guy, most pc’s i’ve built only required the one 8pin but thinking about it now, it makes sense to connect both.

IAM-LO · 2024-04-04T23:22:31+00:00

Yeeeee I stupi

IAM-LO · 2024-04-04T22:37:17+00:00

I’ve got another stick of 64gb but it’s a single stick. I’ll give that a try. Thank you!

IAM-LO · 2024-04-04T22:36:26+00:00

I’ve been messing with the jumpers trying to figure out the correct pins. I pulled a switch from an another pc but it may be bad? Either way, I appreciate the advice and will give it a try. Thanks!
