Good Day,
I finally got my Supermicro X9SCM-IIF motherboard and it shipped with latest BIOS and IPMI firmware.
Ran memtest 24hours no errors, so ram looks good.
Issues now tried to Install VMWARE ESXi 5.1, the installation will begin start copying files, then during the installation around 20-25% the screen goes black then system reeboots. Tried installation a few sometimes off different install media incl usb flash drive.
When installating Windows 2008 R2 I first got error that windows cannot run on this hardware after initial installation progress and first reeboot. I later searched around google and discovered these bios settings:
Advanced > PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration > Launch Storage OpROM Policy > Legacy Only
Advanced > Chipset Configuration > Integrated IO Configuration > Detect Non-Compliance Device > Enable
Advanced > Boot Features > INI19 Trap Response > Postponed
This allowed me to install Windows 2008 R2, but on second or third reboot after doing all the Updates and everything the system will run fine, then all the sudden screen goes black and system rebooots (I turned off automatic reboot, and no bluescreen, just system goes off and reboots).
Full system specs below;
Silverstone STX 450Watt Gold Power Supply
Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/16G 16GB 2X8GB Kits DDR3-1333 CL9 DIMM ECC Dual Channel Memory
Supermicro X9SCM-IIF LGA1155 DDR3 ECC 4PCIE 6SATA 2GBLAN IPMI Video mATX Motherboard
Intel Xeon E3 1230 V2 Quad Core Processor 3.3GHZ 8MB LGA1155 69W
Intel RST RAID10 WD VeliRaptors 500GBx4, also test single raptor no raid (AHCI, IDE Mode)
IPMI Firmware (latest available) R 1.60
BIOS Version R 2.0a
Windows 2008 R2 error screen "Windows Setup Could not configure Windows to run On this Computer's Hardware"
I would greatly appreciate some guidance, supermicro never replied to my email its been a few days.
Cheers!
