Hi, this is my first post connected with new hardware.
I'm starting to build up a server.
I have such a devices:
MB: SuperMicro X11SSL-F
CPU: e3-1230v6
RAM: Samsung 4x16GB 2400 UDIMM ECC.

I had build up the PC, run it and I hear 5 short beeps and one long.
Then I entered to the IMPI and I see following Hardware list.

which is completely different, because Now I have v6 cpu and only one Ram on the board.
Here is stated bios 2.0c, but on the other site there is an 2.1a
On monitor I see something like that:
0x09 mrc data time centering 1d error

What should I do?

  1. place one stick of ram in slot DIMMA1
  2. reset your ipmi back to factory default
  3. reboot the system

did it,
now there is other issue
the system works only with 2 memory slots occupied - so only 32GB ram.
If I put 3.rd or 4th ram stick the system can not boot.
I get such error exactly:
Code:
0x09=mrcDataTimeCentering1DErr


I can only occupy the 2 first slots from the top (black and blue)

Are all four of the ram modules part#M391A2K43BB1-CRC ???
Test each stick (one at a time) in the first ram slot (if one of the
sticks fails to boot) you may have a bad stick of ram.

Disable the jumpers of SMB to PCI Slots (JI2C1/JI2C2) - from 1-2 to 2-3 and all will be fine

This is due to hardware limitation as the result of SMBus address conflict between DIMMA1 and the PCIe devices

How do you arrive at that conclusion?

my system (X11-SSM) had same problems with 4pcs of 16GB modules (beeps at startup, 0x09=mrcDataTimeCentering1DErr, etc). I got information from Supermicro support about hardware limitations for SSM/SSL/SSH mainboards. And after setting jumpers to disable SMBus - system can start normally, w/o beeps and with all 64GB.
Very easy to check, but i don't know where is TS - yacenty

Interesting. I assume those DIMMs are not on the QVL?
