Hi,
I put together a machine from used parts:
H12SSL-NT motherboard
Epyc 7f52 CPU
8x 32GB 2666 RAM (MTA36ASF4G72PZ-2G6E1SI)
The motherboard and ram were sourced locally, while the CPU comes from ebay. The previous owner of the motherboard had an accident with the socket pins when getting it packed and ready for shipping. I have tried to make sure all pins look good before trying to boot it. I think the motherboard has been connected up and tested before but not been in active use.
When I turn it on the power light blinks a few times before staying solid green and the fans start spinning. I get no activity on the BMC light at all, according to the manual this is supposed to blink. The VGA output seems completely dead, I have tried with the jumper set for vga on and off in addition to a PCI-e GPU. The CMOS has been reset as well, and I think this is working as right after this it will auto-boot as soon as I connect the AC cable.
PSU is a brand new 600W with dual 8-pin CPU connectors, and I tried with a known good PSU I had as well (Only one 8-pin on this)
My initial test was done with all 8 sticks of RAM and after this I tried with 1 or 2 sticks in C1 and C1/C2 as per the manual. It seems unlikely to me that all 8 sticks of ram are dead so I would assume the CPU or Motherboard is dead. I get blinking lights on the IPMI network port when connected but my DHCP server is not giving it an IP. holding down the small id button near the rear I/O gives a blinking blue light (This should be controlled by the BMC?).
I tried running IPMIView and scanned from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.254 which includes my entire DHCP range.
I used a torque screwdriver set to 1.6 Nm as per the manual (1.58 Nm in the manual)
Is there anything I could try to get this working with what I have or should I just buy a new H12SSL-i (no real need for the 10g) motherboard and try that? (Brand new from a retail shop)
