I'm building a server with a SuperMicro X11SCL-F O, Intel Xeon E-2186G, 2 16 GB sticks of 2400 MHz ECC RAM, and an 80 plus gold certified 650 Watt PSU.
As the title says, however, the system won't power on. The fans don't spin and the power led on my motherboard doesn't light up at all. However, when my power supply is connected to an outlet, the BMC heartbeat LED on my MB is solid green for about 30 seconds, and then starts blinking green. My motherboard's manual says that blinking green means that BMC is normal, but I'm not sure what that means.
Also, after disconnecting the 24 pin power connector from my motherboard, I noticed the plastic around one of the connector's pin holes was partially melted. I also checked the CPU power connector, but thankfully it was perfectly fine. Here’s what the melted cable looks like: 75-D1137-A-2-BF8-47-A2-82-F3-D8015253-B706
Could this be a PSU issue? MB issue? What should I try next?
EDIT: Discovered that the power supply I had was busted. I tried another power supply and it booted and posted
