Recently bought a X9DRE-TF+. Installed an ES CPU (E5-2650). Installed one 4GB stick of ram. Board is setup on a sheet of bubble wrap outside of a case. ATX power supply powering the ATX 24 pin connector and the first 8 pin connector. Left the second 8 pin disconnected as the sticker on it says "Both 8pins required for heavy load configuration."
If I jump the front panel power connector, I can get the fans to come on, but I get no video out of the vga. Checked the vga jumper, and it is on pins 1-2.
Tried to see if I could get IMPI to work, and it doesn't show up in my router. The activity light for the BMC blinks, and the LAN connector for impi does show activity, however the LEDs for the LAN port seem dim.
Removed the battery from the board, and cleared CMOS by shorting the 2 pads.
Powered the board up, no change.
I installed a second ES CPU (also E5-2650 that has been tested and works in pairs), and installed a cheap gpu to see if I could get video out of that, no luck. The x16 PCIe slots need CPU2 to work.
Removed CPU2, removed the add in GPU.
I noticed that jumper JBR1 does not have the blue connector on it. So I robbed one off another board, set it to 1-2, and powered the board up. No luck. Set it to 2-3 and powered the board up. No luck.
I'm not getting any beeps when I power on the board.
Shutting down the board, I need to hold the power button for 5-6 seconds to get it to power down.
Any suggestions on what else to try?
I have a V2 CPU I can try and I have an E5-2670 that I can rob from another computer to try. Not sure if the ES CPU could be my issue.
