It's saying my photos are too large to upload.

All cables are connected though, 2x CPU, 2x PCIe, 1x ATX.

Current specs:
4x 64Gb ECC DDR5 (in correct slots according to manual)
2x 8952+ ES CPU's
MS73-HB0 motherboard
2x Gen4 WD_Black 8tb NVMes
GeForce RTX3050 LP GPU
MSI AI1300P PSU

About to re-seat the CPUs as all cables are fully clicked in and will report back or find a way to lower the camera resolution to upload.

no PSU ?

you need at least a 750W modern PSU.

To users with EMR-A0:
We tested Q30G and Q2SR on ms33 and ms73
These cpus are able to run with R10 and R11 bios, without bios modification, ONLY TESTED IN ONE SOCKET,
Also, directly use these bios will cause really low performance of these processors...And a long POST time more than 10mins

I noticed it as well. It took 5mins to boot up with q2t7 on ms03 ce0 with R11 versioned BIOS. But it eventually failed at upi link initialization (not sure)

i checked that with MS33-AR0 BIOS R10(latest for this) 5 minutes to POST, even at windows reboot.
but we have all the time in the world thought.

I have 1 Xeon 8260 QQ89 ES in a Dell poweredge r640 and PCIE devices are outputting errors and are not recognized. (an M.2 carrier card, and a dual gigabit pcie x1 nic) I'm thinking of updating the bios to most current revision, current revision I have installed is 2.13.3, should I update to the 2.23 BIOS revision or is there a special BIOS section that I would need to roll back to to get functionality back? The PCIE devices worked fine when dual 4114s were installed, and the PERC card is recognized which is on a pcie x8 link, which makes me think it's likely a BIOS issue. Thanks!

As you're pointing out - this is ES version of CPU, it's better to test in on another machine to validate what PCIe lanes are working fine there.
Otherwise you might be suspecting it's because of BIOS but it could be something else not related to DELL PC.

But generally yes, I would start cutting off some advanced functionality (e.g. disabling CPU features that are not needed for home testbench, like encryption, isolation, and so on) or modify config settings (latencies, master bus, packet size, legacy rom, enforce PCIe generation to avoid unnecessary detection, etc.) as alternative.

maybe you use PCIe slots connected to processor2 and need two CPU installed ?
