First off my first post on this fourms but I found this place and found it to have some of the most insightful responses that Ive seen around.
So I recently got a supermicro sc846 it came with a x8dth-if, that I was able to boot to bios. Since I had a more powerful system available I wanted to swap in my old Z97-AR motherboard into this chassis. For the life of me I cant get the system to boot and the asus mb will just sit there with the cpu led on. (it does trigger the on state of the psu). I took a multimeter to one of the extra cpu power rails and I was reading 12v.
I switched it back to the sm mb and did not connect the smbus and one of the cpu power rails and was able to get into bios.
Is there something different about consumer boards than enterprise? I am able to run the asus mb off a consumer psu. The only thing I havent tried is using the consumer psu on the supermirco mb for testing purposes. Anyone might know what could be happening?
