After building the server using a Corsair TX750w power supply and the parts list in my signature, I see the fan's try to start spining and then nothing happens. The system does not start at all. If I push the power button again, the fans try to start but not even the power suply fan starts. The standby and PMI LEDs turn on (PMI blinks slowly as it should) and the onboard battery is doing 3V. I've disconnected all but CPU, one stick of RAM on DIMM 2A, and power switch and still nothing. I've tried swapping the RAM sticks arround and even re-seated the CPU. The power supply is the only part that is not brand new as it was removed from a system that was working fine hours before and it is 80+ certified within the specs for the motherboard. I'm now thinking that the motherboard is DOA and will need replacement.
Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong here? This is not my first buid and as always I followed strict anti-static/clean-room procedures while putting it together. This is however, my first SuperMicro build and I have to say I'm not very impressed with the looks of the board. It just doesn't look as well built as other boards I've used by diferent manufactures such as Asus or Asrock.
