Does anyone have Secure Boot active on their MC12-LE0? Mine is on F20, and it just doesn't appear to have any factory keys that I can load. I reflashed F20 bios from with AMI Firmware Update Utility v5.16.04.0135 just in case something was missing: AFUWINx64.EXE image.bin /P /B /N /L /K /X
When I restore factory keys, nothing seems to happen and when I enable Secure Boot it warns that System is in Setup Mode: Secure Boot can be enabled when System in User Mode. Repeat operation after enrolling Platform Key (PK). When I try to update the Platform Key from factory default it fails.
Here's a screen recording of what I'm seeing:

Hi,

I have issue with one of my board which I order as backup...

Board do not POST, BMC network LED do not turn on(LAN LEDs turn on one connect with 10mbit another with 100mbit). BMC LED is solid ON and do not start blinking.

Im try connect to BMC UART but looks like it do not output anything... I use same adapter as on Gigabyte MJ11-EC1 boards and 115200 baudrate. Im try pressing ENTER in terminal but do not help.

Can I do something else? If I remove PSU and put 3.3V on BMC UART port will this make some difference?

Thanks for any hint how to continue.

I have issue with one of my board which I order as backup...
I had a similar issue at the time and got a replacement board from the German seller. I was allowed to keep the defective one.
I believe the LAN led is just the default state when receiving power. Not sure if my BMC led turned on, it certainly didn't blink either, will have to check that.

I looked at defective the board briefly. My best guess was to try to reflash the BMC and/or bios using one these bios programmers, but didn't actually go that far yet.The BMC is a 16pin version if I recall correctly (but for flashing only a couple of pins are actually used). I got myself one of these low cost flash adapters, but using them with clamps is apparently discouraged.
(As I had also a defective X9-SCL-F board that didn't want to POST, i tried a 8pin to flash that one's bios, and indeed it required several clamp-on attempts to read/verify correctly. after that I tried to flash the X9-SCL. the flash on that one worked, but did not unbrick that motherboard. )
After ordering the correct clamps, i managed to break the clamp to fit it on the BMC flash chip. hence my attempts for that are stalled now.

again, not sure if it will unbrick anything.

for what it's worth, when connecting the power supply, I belive the board goes into somekind of power-on loop, hearing some very light ticking sound. as if the flash for BMC could not be ready (correctly) and retries. it could of course just be some coil-whine too.

dbram thanks for reply. I will see what will seller said and offer tomorrow...Removing power and powering it by 3.3V pin do not make any change...

Does it need to be on one pin 3.3V? If I with multimeter(Powered off PSU) check with beeper which pin is GND I can find that only one beep. Then 2 pins next to it are TX and RX and then must be VCC which as I know must be 3.3V. But when I power on PSU there is no voltage on that pin...
I by mistake put multimeter on HOLD :) On pin is 3.3V.

I’m currently running 2x Kingston Server Premier 32GB 3200MT/s DDR4 ECC CL22 DIMM 2Rx8 (Hynix C – KSM32ED8/32HC). A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to grab two more sticks, but the prices have skyrocketed. Then I started seeing all those Reddit threads about RAM and AI demand — now it all makes sense.

I’m looking for an alternative and thought I’d ask here for some collective wisdom, especially since I’ll be mixing two different kits? I assume it’s pretty much the same story for most kits anyway.

I use these kits in my machines running this board: Micron (Crucial) 32GB DDR4-3200 ECC UDIMM 2Rx8 CL22 SKU: MTA18ASF4G72AZ-3G2R
Though I doubt it can be found anywhere cheap, used or new. As you said, RAM is crazy atm
