Hello everybody,
First at all many Thanks to
@RolloZ170. Nice work and instructions.
Flashed a Dell R740, working with 2 * Xeon Platinum 8272CL, full Ram slots. Latest BIOS/Updates installed.
No power on / boot needed. Install CPUs, then power cables plugged in, wait a bit for idrac to boot. Then use the tool from RolloZ170. If you are used to, 5 mins and you are done.
I still have a Fujtsu Primergy RX2540 M4.
(Just as a reminder: RX25x0 M4 -> Xeon x1yy, RX25x0 M5 -> Xeon x2yy. No Bios mod possible.)
Would like to run Xeon Platinum 8171M. As already mentioned here (#99-#102) VRMs are the MP2955A, even 6+1 i can confirm.
But... No pinout (datasheet) of the VRM controller, empty SMT header.
Does anybody has a plan to find out how to test/measure the pinout? Have the server available and a current meter.
I like the Fujtsu RX2540 Servers quite a lot. NVMe Boot since M1 with standard NVMe, very low power usage, not "limits" for CPUs/RAMs. KVM Mod possible. Very durability.
Thanks!
