Hello, I did a rather optimistic thing and bought the above mentioned server board off ebay, thinking I might be able to get it working. It hasn't really worked out. I gave it to an IT repair company, who seem to have given up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, before I reluctantly write this off as a silly mistake.
Basically, I'm getting a fatal error when powering on the board. I've referred to the manual, and deciphered the error beep code "1-5-1-2" as meaning "VR Watchdog timer sensor assertion - VR controller DC power on sequence was not completed in time"
Due to this fatal error, I can't get any video output, or a more helpful error code to work with, so my questions is, does anyone have any idea what may cause this? Should the board power on and produce a video output without being connected to fans, heat sinks, HDs etc? I was hoping to get a sign of life before spending any more money on the other components.
Thanks
