I have just put together the following system:
- Asus Z10PE-D16 WS
- Xeon E5-2697 v3
- 8x Samsung M393A2G40DB0-CPB dual rank 16GB ECC RDIMMs
- Corsair AX1600i PSU
- Noctua NH-U14S cooler
My initial test was to let it power up and monitor the LED error code display. When I did this it settled down into the following loop: 04 03 02 01 00.
The manual gives the following descriptions for those codes:
- 04 - PCH initialization before microcode loading
- 03 - System Agent initialization before microcode loading
- 02 - AP initialization before microcode loading
- 01 - Power on. Reset type detection (soft/hard).
- 00 - Not used(!)
Has anyone encountered this before, as nothing showed up when I searched around? I am going to remove all but one of the memory sticks and check that the CPU is seated correctly and try again.
Addendum: I have already updated it to the latest BIOS using the BIOS flashback functionality, but this made no difference. The system is in a single CPU configuration, with all 8 RAM sticks on CPU1. I am providing power for both CPUs, however.
