No lights come on, no heat from the CPUs, fans don't spin. socket pins are fine and nothing from IPMI
Troubleshooting:
Have used 2620 v1, 2650 v1, cleared CMOS, used 3 psu, replaced few battery, default all pins, left it over night without any power to drain. used 4 sticks of ram from other servers. Everything is tested on a test bench.
