I just got this motherboard. It comes with 2x Silver 4109T CPUs. Physically looks perfect. IPMI works but cannot login. Seller does not know the IPMI password and I am not sure where the default IPMI password is located.
I am about to thrash it but I wanted to check here if there are any ideas on how to salvage it. Symptoms indicate dead motherboard:
- CPU is not powering on. It stays cool.
- MB starts and shuts down immediately or starts and hangs there. That keeps on changing. MB is responsive to the power button.
- No display no beeps.
- Network chip powers on.
- SB felt cold but that may be normal.
- Tried all the usual combos: Reseat CPUs, remove one CPU, change DIMMs. Didn't try to clear CMOS etc, not sure if that would help.
It is sad to see it getting being thrashed. Any ideas on what to check and try?
