I've purchased a SuperMicro M11SDV-8C-LN4F after reading the reviews on this website. Unfortunately I'm having a really hard time getting the motherboard to POST. The PSU fan spins loudly for about half a second and then it stops... I never see any video and the power LED on the motherboard turns on. There are no error LEDs on. The BMC module works just fine.. I can login and initiate a power ON and it returns saying that the command failed.
I decided to RMA my first motherboard thinking it was defective but the 2nd one which just arrived today is doing the exact same thing.
At this point I'm not certain the motherboard is to blame given 2 of them do the exact same thing.
I'm powering the motherboard with the 250W PSU that came with the SuperMicro CSE-721TQ-250B case.
I've attempted to power the motherboard with a 620W PSU and it behaved exactly the same way so I'm not convinced it's the PSU. I've tried to post without any devices or ram connected and it behaves the same with with or without ram.
I'm using a 16GB Crucial DDR4-2666 RDIMM in the correct slot (DIMMA2 - Blue).
I've attempted to attach a speaker to the speaker pins but don't hear any beeps (not sure if I have the correct speaker). The Post Snooping says the code is "FF". Not sure what that means...
Anyone have any ideas of what I can try next to get this Motherboard going?
Thanks in advance... I'm going to connect with SuperMicro support (again) tomorrow.
Thanks,
Moe
