SMBus & Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T: Funny shopping list to replace ATX PSU

[fatherboard]

Motherboard Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T seems to require a PSU that supports SMBus.
I have set up all components (dual CPUs, 16 DIMMs, GPU 5090) and when I turn it on I get a brief sound then nothing.
After a bit of chatgpt and search the root cause is the fact that ATX PSUs like the one used Silverstone Hela 2500Rz do not support SMBus.
So it seems I need to get a server PSU, however Chatgpt came up with a looooong shopping list:

• FSP3000-20FE (CRPS 3000W) — primary PSU module. (Alcom / FSP EU) fsp-ps.de+1
• FSP-FC250 PDB or official FSP PDB kit — to get ATX/EPS/PCIe connectors + PMBus header. (FSP Group PDB product page) fsp-group.com
• CRPS → PDB cable (matched to the FSP3000-20FE) — get from FSP or the PDB vendor. fsp-ps.de
• PDB → Motherboard cable kit: 1×24-pin + 5×8-pin EPS (verify length). (Often sold with PDB or via server integrator). fsp-group.com
• PDB → GPU cable(s): either native 12VHPWR harness (if PDB supports) or multiple certified PCIe 8-pin cables rated for the RTX-5090.
• PMBus / SMBus cable for PSU_SMB1 header (5-pin) — supplied by PDB/vendor. Geizhals
• Mounting bracket or small 1U CRPS cage / bracket for the Alta D1 (or plan a custom bracket). (Check FSP/third-party mounting accessories.) Alcom electronics

1. Is Chatgpt being funny or is it really what I need just to replace the Silverstone Hela 2500Rz?
2. is the Motherboard allergic to other ATX/ Consumer products? now we know the ATX PSU is not welcome, is it allergic to RTX 5090 / RTX 6000 Pro?

Here is a reminder of the required Wattage:

Chatgpt led me to believe it was required, I'm lost. Well, I shouldn't be lost, because these are both AI stories, that's why I'm asking you guys, real people for real answers.
The motherboard failed to start and after lengthy discussion with the not-so-reliable Chatgpt it was narrowed down to Silverstone Hela 2500Rz PSU doesn't support SMBus, that I need a server PSU,
What made me more likely to believe it, is that all, and I really mean all, components work, freshly tested in H13SSL-N before moving them to the Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T. The only one that wasn't tested was the PSU.

Has anyone managed to make Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T work with an normal ATX PSU? any idea why it gives that very short sound and then doesn't start up?

This is why I know that my job is safe

By the way it shows a debug code of 04, or O4.

See… people (unlike an AI) would be more willing to help you, if you hadn’t burnt all your goodwill with them.

But, you did.

bruh OP stop taking everything LLMs say as gospel, even for things that have actual Wiki pages behind them like Genshin characters or GPU specs it just hallucinates shit, that's literally how LLMs work: they predict the next suitable token.

back again to sabotage questions? this time with a different style, since the first story of a troll not able to afford a thing doesn't work anymore.

There are 3 types of people in this forum:
- real people, the absolute majority, you recognise them by their answers.
- people who don't know what they are doing here, very few, they assume the others also don't know what they are doing here so they accuse them of being trolls. You also recognise them by their answers.
- and the very last type, a very special type, even fewer, those who are here exclusively to sell their services using a tactic: identify newbies, intimidate them, humiliate and insult them, tell them they know nothing and then tell them to hire a consultant, themselves.

I only talk to real people.

I agree with you fully this is why I double check with real people when something sounds strange.
If someone came across such a problem with Asrock Rack motherboards and dr debug code 04 let me know. It seems I'm the only one using this motherboard, if you search this forum.

I wanna see how many "real" people try to help you.

At this very moment you have no idea how many people are helping with this very issue, so many in several places that I'm behind on doing what they are asking me to do to troubleshoot, I still need to catch up.

Do you think this forum is the only one, or even forums are the only way? really?

Dude is there something wrong with you? what drives your need to sabotage questions? if you have nothing to add, why do you keep showing up on my questions.
Is it an idea to simply mind your business.

Is this English clear enough: I do not want to buy your services as a consultant. I do not want to have your help. Can you please never respond to any of my questions even if you know the answer. Because even if you know the answer you will come not to answer but only to sabotage the question. Bro, get help, you really need it.

 

[fatherboard]

Whether or not the answer to this question will come from this forum or another forum or even another route (God knows there are many), I will do my best to remember to post it here for others, since I think I'm the only one using this motherboard now in this forum. As per my stats intel there is only one other person in Europe that has purchased it in the last 9 months, whoever you are Mr-one-other-person, sooner or later you will encounter the same issue, if I find the solution first I will post it.

Slow day at work...

By the way it shows a debug code of 04, or O4.

Did you connect anything the the smbus header or did you fiddle around with the jumpers?

 

[fatherboard]

I didn't touch anything in the SMBus header or other jumper stuff, let's say my ignorance does help a little bit: I don't touch stuff I don't know, I follow blindly the installation manual, by now it's the fourth machine I install in a short period, so I'm quite familiar with the "repetitive process", I don't touch anything else. Unfortunately the BMC of the Supermicro H13SSL-N was playing the boss in fan control, so I decided to merge 2 supermicro machines into one AsRock Rack TURIN2D16.

I've collected all troubleshooting steps from real people from several "sources" and did the following:

1. Checked that the UID button can move freely, not obstructed.
2. clear the CMOS, kept all components in. FAIL
3. [CPU1 & one RAM in A1] + [CPU2 & one RAM in M1] = FAIL
4. [CPU1 & one RAM in A1] = FAIL

FAIL means dr debug code 04, sound of a power tick, then nothing happens.

Just keep in mind that the components were brand new before installation in 2 separate Supermicro H13SSL-N builds a few weeks ago, they worked brilliantly for weeks, then in a matter of hours after turning off the Supermicro machines (same afternoon) I merged all working components in the Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T because it's a dual CPU. So I'm bringing in components that I saw were working perfectly with my own eyes.

The RAM is Micron yes all of them were working perfectly hours before installation in Asrock Rack TURIN2D16-2T

I do not have dhcp, so cannot log into the IPMI/ BMC (need first to set a static IP address manually in the BIOS but have no access to the BIOS) to … (not even sure what to do in there if I ever get there).

Any idea what else could be wrong? I have to say I didn't test the PSU yet, this is its first time, but it's the only 2500W I have for now. The lights in the MB go on when I switch on the PSU power button in the PSU, I'm assuming the persisting error code 04 is not PSU related, or is it?
