Hi, I am trying to switch my X8DTE setup to an X9SRI in the same SC836 chassis. I am wondering if the problem is which 8pin CPU power cord I use - does it matter?

One 8pin is labeled "PC" and the other is "PD." Obviously C comes before D, so is this the "primary" CPU connector? Does it matter? I can't test because the PC is slightly to short, so I can only use PD (or get an extender for PC, which is what this question is about).

The problem: VGA isn't being detected, the server turns on fine, no beeps, nothing. I've tried removing RAM, reseating CPU, checking all the jumpers, everything I can think of really. Is perhaps the problem that, if using only one CPU on a 2 CPU PSU, you have to connect it to the PC/"primary" connector? Is there a such thing as a "primary" 8pin cord?

There may also be compat issues with v2 if it's not running the latest BIOS.

What CPU are you putting in? v1 or v2?

Any beep codes when you power up?
