Update:
There was no available retail stock of Xeon E3 CPUs in Australia until just today.

Well I tried the S5510GM3NR with a Thermaltake Litepower 500W PSU. No change. Exactly the same result. Fans briefly spin on and off again.

It worked for a whole twenty minutes. The KVM was working.
Then it goes through the similar power on of the fans, a few flashes of LEDs and then the PSU clicks and it starts again.

So far I have started ordering from the USA:
Tyan S5512GM4NR motherboard
