ok so this was my first time using this board.
I installed it, and tried to boot only to have it stuck on "System initializing..."
I was, initially, able to access IPMI.
Here's were I Fd up.
I tried to do a firmware update. But the HTTP wasn't set up and asked me to upload a file. I canceled the process as I had no file to upload. After that I am completely locked out of IPMI.
I found a USB tool to reset it, but I can't boot to it because the system is stuck on initializing.
I first found out that the RAM I was using (2x4GB Crucial ballsistix DDr3 1600UDIMM 1.5V) was not compatibile. So I got 2x8gb crucial DDR3 1600 ECC UDIMM 1.35V, crucials website said this was compatible.
I tried reseating the RAM, no.
Only 1 stick, no
Removed CMOS, no
I cannot get past "system initializing" coming out of the boards VGA, I haven't even gotten a chance to install an OS so IPMItools is out of the question, booting to USB DOS is out of the question. Getting any info from IPMI is useless as I have no access (I can't login but I can access/ping/see the IPMI user interface)
What can I do? Should I get it RMA'd or is there anything I can do?
