I will try it. I will try to do it when I get home from work tomorrow, if I remember. If I don't it'll have to be Monday.

From what i recall on motherboard side you have 2 8pin eps
but you can also have a pcie plug from raiser on GPU-enablement kit.
The amd cards since polaris power draw problems are very picky about using full 8pin pcie, in most cases they won't boot/initialize with just 4-6pin's pcie if it was 8pin connector - they utilize sense.

I am used the pcie on the GPU enablement riser, but I'm beginning to wonder if the cables I ordered are not pinned properly due to the sense you're talking about.
According to https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...k-7910-riser-gpu-power-pinout-question.36916/ on the riser side you need a connection from pin 4 to 6. My cable seems to have that, but the card still beeps (which seems to be a power issue).
Since your card does not beep I am not sure if it is indeed related to the wire you have.
Also do you have the low-profile heat sinks? Although, since there seems to be no detection mechanisms I don't think this is making a difference here.
Thank's I got the same ones at home (ordered them before).
Did you change anything else in IDRAC or BIOS? Or did you card never beep but just prevent you from booting?
It was beeping, but I don't remember what I did to cause it to beep... If I remember to, Monday on my day off I can screenshot all my BIOS settings for you.
AFAIK there is none on the board itself. There is a 8 pin but it is smaller than a regular EPS.
yes they are custom dell plugs but they are 12v eps 8pin meant for Tesla cards, and you can make them into pcie 8pin's.
Did you already manage to have a look at the settings ? I still struggle to get rid of the beep.
Shouldn't 12V EPS have 4 12V pins? I measured the voltage and it seems like the small plug on the mainboard has the same pinout as the Risers (meaning 3 12 V, two sense pins, and the rest gnd) ?
