No, it’s never worked. This is a new comp so all components are new.
No boot codes come up, the display on the MB doesn’t light up or anything. The BMC and power ready green LEDs are one though, which I think is normal.
I let it run for like an hour and a half last night. I think the issue is since I can’t turn the machine power on or off (request times out) the IPMI can’t shut down the computer to flash the BIOS. I can’t try to flash the BIOS with the machine off because it will auto start if it’s connected to the PSU.
As far as I understand it, it is working. The cable is connected into the IPMI port, and then hits my router. I’ve been controlling it from my PC also hard wired into the router. I was able to update the BMC today to the current version, so I think it’s hopefully at least connected right. I have admittedly not heard of IPMI until I bought this board haha.
After work today I’m planning on resetting the CMOS and trying to mess with ram variations to see if it will boot. If it doesn’t work I’ll just have to take it apart and reseat everything and go from there.
Comp parts are…
PSU - EVGA SuperNova 650 G3 80+ Gold
RAM - 16GB Corsair Vengance LPX SDRAM DDR4 3000
Case - Fractal Design 804
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1600
MB - AsROck Rack x470d4u
NAS Storage - 2x 6gb WD RED
SSD/Cache - Kingston 240gb SSD
If it were DDR fault you would most likely see it boot-loop a few times while cycling error codes. My current bet is shorted power/reset button, or just incorrectly connected front panel.
Has anyone been able to get AMD-RAID w/ the two nvme slots to work when installing Centos/Redhat 8? It simply just shows both NVME disks, but not the amdraid I created in the bios.
In my thread with the Intel P4500 NVMe issues @wendell mentions that there is no Linux driver support for an AMD NVMe RAID array so you’ll probably have to use general software RAID solutions from the intended distributions to get there.
For the moment, until more widespread support materializes for the Ryzen platform, our recommendation for the X470D4U will come with a huge caveat; we like the platform, but you will have to test it for yourself to make sure the platform works for your organization (or you if this is a lab environment) and your particular set of applications.
They should have just hotlinked this thread and called it a day.
I can confirm that flashing beta bios 3.33 (agesa 1.0.0.4) to x470d4u solves “GPU passthrough issue”.
On 3.30 bios there was an error “unable to power on device. stuck in D3”
I suspect by that you mean COVID-19 but as far as I know ASRock Rack’s BIOS engineers are located in Taiwan and that’s a place that has been handling the crisis quite well…?
Or do you mean they just don’t give a ff about this model and they’d welcome it if all customers of it would die off of it so they can put it EOL…? /s
Easy answer, because it’s Asrock.
They are generally pretty slow at releasing bios updates.
And yeah their biosses aren’t really the greatest to begin with.
