Hi, it's great that I found this thread, maybe someone could help me.
I bought two Xeons 8222CL (205W) B1 50657. I can't get it work with Gigabyte C621-WD12 (F7 bios), but in many forum I read that this board will work with custom oem vendors Xeons. Even on sellers sites on ebay and aliexpress they saying these Xeons will work. I know that motherboard is ok, but when I put 8222CLs only red led light shows up and nothing else. Do you have some experience with this mb model or any ideas how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for your help!

it is not a Microcode issue. but gigabyte made some improvement in the last revisions of all motherboards.
the 8222CL is a confidential OEM CPU.
i don't know. i asked my supplier of cpu for compatibility 8222CL on a C621-WD12. i have to wait for the reply.
the ASRock Rack EP2C621D12 WS is confirmed to support the 8222CL, but that helps you not much for now...
i have a Gigabyte MD71-HB0 and updated the BIOS in the IPMI desk like you can with supermicro boards.
ok good and bad. my chineese supplier told me latest BIOS should work. i have to ask again. can take some time.
please contact gigabyte service and ask for VRM upgrade. tell them the problem like as here.
there is a table inside the VRM controller chip.
this upgrade is required if you want to run 165W TDP 2nd Gen CPU on a supermicro X11SRM for example. you can make supermicro x11DPi-N make to run 240W CPU by upgrading the VRM chip(no BIOS changes).
In case they say the CPU is not supported tell them you buy a ASRock Rack board instead, LOL.
you have not more options. the support list is always an incomplete list.
can you be sure the 8222CL are not DOA ?
As you said, there are no other options. I'll ask Gigabyte and let know here what they said. It will probably take a few days for wait to their answer. I'm not a hundred percent sure if these Xeons are alive, but I bought them from a company in California. I asked the seller twice, and he said that they are brand new and tested. Of course he may lie, but he sold more of these cpus and no one gave him bad opinion. I have a one another option to test, because my friend has a server platform which could manage these cpus, so I'll ask him for such opportunity.
I really appreciate your help.
I'll back here later with some news.
