First own server-build gone wrong

[JD6530]

Hi guys. I have bought hardware for 2 storage servers, which i was trying to set up right now, but i simply cant get the systems to boot.

 

Both have a nearly identical setup:
- Xeon Silver 4314 CPU 

- 4x 32 GB Kingston Server Premier DDR4

- a Network Card

- an HBA-Card

- 2 Sata SSDs connected over Sata

- 4 Drives connected to the HBA

only difference are the mainboards:

One is running a Gigabyte mu72-su0

and the other one is an AsRock c621a ws

 

As i said none of them boot. They are giving me a graphis out but i cant get to the BIOS.

The gigabyte is stuck at Mermory Initalization adn the whatever memory channel is populated (i tried all slots, only one stick, single 2666 non-ecc stick...)

The As Rock is giving me Code E8 (or EB) on the Display of the board and on the screen only a simple 31 in the bottom right corner. 

 

I think i could messed up something with the RAM but what...?

Every bit of help would ba appreciated, i am really depending on your help guys!

 

Best greetings 

JD

It seems like you have the wrong memory. Try putting some RDIMMS in and then it should boot. These boards seem to list only RDIMMs as supported, not non-ecc ram.

 

Also check the IPMI webpage for more info abou the exact error.

Also, RAM population order is generally from the outside in. Consult the manual(s) for the expected ordering as some boards won't post without a DIMM in its "first" channel.
