About 3 weeks ago, about the time the east coast got hit by hurricane Florence, my FreeNAS box quit working. My original configuration is as follows:
Pentium G3220 CPU
Supermicro X10SLM-F-O motherboard
2x4GB sticks of Crucial CT51272BD160B ECC RAM
A 430 watt EVGA psu
1 wdidled WD green 3TB drive
3 WD red 3TB drives
...All in a mid-tower case
The night that the storms from Flo came through, we took a power hit. I got up the next morning, and the NAS would not power up. I thought that the power hit might have fried the power supply, but it is plugged into an UPS, and nothing else plugged into it had a problem. The BMC heartbeat LED was blinking green, and the standby power led was on solid orange, but there was no fan spin, even on the pwr supply.
So I went out that next day and bought a Thermaltake 500 watt psu. Swapped it, and had the same indications on the board. BMC heartbeat, standby power, no fans power up.
So I found a Supermicro X10SLM+-F board, and moved everything over. When I powered it up all fans spun, the supermicro POST screen came on, and in the lower right corner, the number went from 15 to 55, accompanied by 4 beeps, which I learned was memory. So I tried switching the sticks, still got the 4 beeps. I then tried only one of the sticks, again four beeps The other one alone worked. So I have been running on 4GB.
A friend of mine sent me 4 Kingston KVR1333D3D4R9/4G sticks of ECC RAM. All of them (I tried combinations of 1, 2, and 4 sticks) and got 5 short beeps and 1 long.
I then bought another stick of Crucial CT51272BD160B on amazon, but when I plugged it in, I again got the four beeps from the POST.
I have pulled it out and am running on the 4GB, but would like to either get the Kingstons or the other Crucial working. Can anyone advise on what is happening with this board? Is it possible that it was another bad stick of Crucial that I got off amazon? A bad DIMM slot?
Thanks,
