Would just like to mention that the IO layout is the same as various other SM boards.
The part number for the IO shield is MCP-260-00084-0N.

Oh that's awesome because the bundled io shield flops around a atx caseWould just like to mention that the IO layout is the same as various other SM boards.

I received one of these, installed a CPU and RAM. No beeps. But also no VGA signal.
Checked JPG1 jumper and it's on 1-2 (enabled).
Seller reset the IPMI user/pass but didn't write down the IP address.
If I can't get into the BIOS, do I have to run a DHCP server and provide it an IP address?
Is there a default IP address for the IPMI on these machines?
Edit: I tried 192.168.0.1
Edit 2: I also tried running a DHCP server in case the BMC was looking for an IP. That didn't work either.

KB and Monitor directly connected is your best bet. Ignore the IPMI.
Did you happen to reset the bios? Remove the cmos battery (if there is one)? There should also be a jumper to reset the BIOS (check the manual).
After resetting the bios, VGA output should be working. If not, it could be a faulty board.
See if you can get some beeps out of it. Remove the RAM, or CPU, and try to boot. You should get beeps.
If no beeps, then the last thing to consider would be a failed flash or bad board. For a failed flash, you can recover the bios:
Besides that... Board would be dead, and contact the seller. Something this big and heavy, the seller doesn't want you to send back - as they would have to pay shipping.

Thanks eduncan.
The seller reset the bios on mine before shipping. But I took out the CMOS battery and it reads 3.012V. I put it back in and booted. Same thing.
I can get beeps out of it if I remove the RAM. Five short, One long, like it says in Appendix A of the manual.
I've already contacted the seller and will see what he says.
I will also try plugging in a graphics card and disabling JPG1 to see if I can get video out that way.

I appreciate your response, however the information is incorrect. This xeon processor that comes with it and the entire series of E series and the chipset support BOTH ECC and NON-ECC ram. In fact, you can even intermix them, but they will all run at non-ECC in that case. However, they do not support Registered (buffered) RAM of any kind. As far as I am aware this is a chipset limitation. Because this changes for some xeon dual- and quad-socket CPU motherboard. Additionally the low-voltage ram labeled with an "L" is also supported.
My board just came today and I put into it a 4690k processor and the ram that was with that processor on another board. Powering up I get a screen but then 3 beeps. I think this means it doesn’t like the ram. I have some other ecc server ram that I can try, but I thought this board could run non registered ram.
Yes - I apparently didn't have it mounted properly. Once I reseated the ram everything came up fine.
This is the first super micro board I've ever used in person, I like the IPMI better than the Dell r710 iDrac and the HP ILO3 I've used.
I thought I would share my experience with this board. I recently bought one off ebay to be used in a 2u NAS I was assembling. I paired it with a SuperMicro CS-825TQ that I also purchased off ebay. This board works very nicely for this purpose, as the front panel header appears to be the same as the X8 board that came with the case so I could just plug that in directly. There is also a header on the board for the power supply monitoring. I am currently using a PWS-920P-1R. The board came with bios password locked, but I was able to use ipmi to reflash with the bios version found here to remove the password. The board came with a steel i/o plate that has screw holes, but I had purchased an Aluminum pop-in plate directly from SuperMicro that I used instead. I purchased several of these, since the shipping was as much as one of the plates, so If anyone needs one I have a couple available for cost + shipping ($12) - sorry USA shipping only.
I installed a SuperMicro SAS2 HBA controller (AOC-S2308L-L8E) and 7 4tb drives in raidz2 (+1 spare), along with a cheap 128Gb ssd for the operating system. The system is running Proxmox with TrueNAS virtualized and all seems to be well so far, although I am thinking about purchasing a 920SQ power supply to reduce the noise. I had no problem passing though the HBA controller, but had to set the ACS option to split the iommu groups in order to pass though only some of the 10Gb ports.

I am passing my SuperMicro branded LSI SAS controller through to a virtual machine so it looks just like a raw device. Devices on hosts that support hardware virtualization get grouped into IOMMU for translating from virtual to physical addresses. This requires enabling Intel VT-d virtualization in the bios. I am also passing some of the 10Gb ethernet ports. However, out of the box all 6 ports were grouped into a single IOMMU group, meaning that you can either pass all ports or none at all to the virtual machine. Enabling the ACS option allows individual PCIE connections to be isolated from others and allowing to passthrough only some of the the 10Gb ports. There a plenty of good guides for PCIE passthrough available online that explain this in much more depth
I should note that enabling this requires the option to the grub boot options. On my machine this looks like:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on pcie_acs_override=downstream"
