Good morning,
I am currently trying to transition the system to my new SuperMicro X10 board and I am running into several persistent issues. I've already documented my inability to remove the old SLOGs from my pool elsewhere. Another thing I'm running into is very strange behavior by the SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F board re: memory.
I ordered altogether 4 sticks of 32GB Registered DDR4 RAM Hynix HMA84GR7AFR4N-UH memory (on the HW list) but received HMA84GR7MFR4N-UH from both. Hynix lists info on the AFR4N series but none on the MFR4N series. Are they equivalent? Per the Hynix DDR4 SKU decoder, the only difference between the two RAM sticks is the die generation. The "M" variant is a generation older than the "A" variant.
The RAM seems to be the same re: general specs but I wonder if I need to return it because the board is giving me weird errors. Specifically, on boot, if all 4 sticks are in, I will get a "DIMM training error" or a similar "uncorrectable error" for the DIMM in Slot A1 that disappears if I remove the second bank of memory. All sticks are fine in slot A1 as long as there aren't any sticks in the A2 and B2 DIMM slots.
Is this a BIOS / Firmware issue? Per the IPMI, the current state is:
Firmware Revision : 03.68
Firmware Build Time : 03/20/2018
BIOS Version: 1.3
BIOS Build Time: 03/19/2018
Per the SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F board site, the firmware is current but the BIOS is not. The current BIOS on the site is listed as 2.0. Is upgrading the BIOS where I should start?
