I switched from ltt forum, because someone there told me that the community here may potentially have more server nerds.
So here I am !
I build myself a little NAS Server with the X570D4U Mainboard from ASRockRack
After I hooked all ( CPU cooler, ATX Power, CPU Power, etc. ) correctly up to the board and pressed the power key it turned up the fans and did a restart.
I connected the VGA to the dedicated VGA Port from the Mobo which is powered by the BCM IPMI Chip but there is no output.
For testing I also put in a Zotac Geforce GT10 for video output but still no video.
After that I connected the dedicated IPMI Port to the Network.
Finnaly in the IPMI there were no CPU or GPU or even no RAM detected in the Peripherals tab. I also tried the KVM interface of the IPMI but there was a black screen and a text saying “No Signal”.
Even after several reboots and testings I couldnt get a video signal out of the Board.
Did anybody encountered this problem before or maybe has the same board at home and can give me some tips to fix my mainboard ?
( The ATX cable from the power supply was to short, so I extended it with a ATX extension cable from SilverStone )
btw. after all theese tests I did I think the board could be broken.
It really sounds as if your CPU or RAM is not installed correctly, and isn’t running.
The IPMI works because it is an entirely separate system.
I haven’t used one of those ASRock boards but other systems I have used made the motherboard error codes available to the IPMI. Is there any kind of error log in there? I’m thinking it might have a simple (No CPU Found) or (RAM Error) or (Board Initialization Failure) or something.
in any case, the current BMC web gui doesn’t list any hardware even when booted. I’m guessing they still have a lot to update on the IPMI.
Does the PSU actually power on, like does it spin the fan?
