ASRock Rack E3C252D4U-2T (OEM/new?) stuck at POST code 00, shuts off after ~10-20 seconds - Xeon E-2324G (used) - exhausted all ideas send help

[TransistorResultConsumer]

G6400 is Comet Lake-S 10th gen
E-2324G = Rocket Lake-E 11th gen.
maybe BIOS need 1.31.0V02 to run 11th gen ???
dump BIOS chip (read and save to disk)
and try E-2324G with BIOS 5.05

Hmm.. I would be very surprised, since we saw the board had posted with an E-2374G CPU in the BIOS cache


I will try to dump the BIOS now and update it to 5.05 via IPMI?

 

[TransistorResultConsumer]

I bet it's that.

OTOH BMC update failed. Image verification unsuccessful.

I unfortunately don't understand what you mean...

you told ASRock Rack you flash with programmer.
BIOS 5.05 is for std. motherboard not OVH OEM board.
BMC/IPMI may not accept, known issue.
you need ch341a to flash external.

Right. I will flash it on then

yes right, forgot that.

I meant that I bet it's a defective CPU but no concrete evidence.

On the other hand, I tried updating BMC to the beta posted by @RolloZ170 but it failed. Error is:

Image Verification unsuccessful. Please check if you uploaded the correct Image.In order to try upgrading again you need to reset the device. Press OK to reset the device now.

Intel's ark site says the E-2324G was launched 2021Q3 and your current BIOS is dated Q1 if the date is Euro format.

I believe it's not Euro format, since in the BIOS it has System Date Sun 03/15/2026


The E-2374G site also says Q3'21

I used BMC to flash it and it was fine. I have an OVH board.

 

[TransistorResultConsumer]

I used BMC to flash it and it was fine. I have an OVH board.

I'd still like to dump it just in case. Have to learn which software to use and how to use the CH341B in general first though. So looking for manuals/tutorials etc now D:

ASProgrammer / NeoProgrammer.
note the ch341a/b can only flash 8pin, for the 16pin you need adapter 8->16.

what now ?

 

[RolloZ170]

Image Verification unsuccessful.

i guess OVH OEM board should have OEM BMC firmware.
like supermicro board but Nutanix BMC/BIOS.

 

[TransistorResultConsumer]

I feel so overwhelmed/dumb right now. I believe I will have to solder the chip onto that small board? But no idea how I'd connect it to the CH341B itself afterwards. I thought I could just insert it in or something

 

[RolloZ170]

. I believe I will have to solder the chip onto that small board?

you need the adpater 8>>16
like this

Pardon Our Interruption...

 

[TransistorResultConsumer]

I thought the kit (not a ref link) came with an adapter

the pcb is the SOP8 SOP16 to 8 pin universal adapter
you need test clip socket adapter

could you please link to a product, I don't really know what to look for I forgot to put this into the picture though so maybe this is it?

Damn I need to wait for something else again I'm considering just updating the BIOS via IPMI at this point so annoying

have you tried ?
