troubleshooting power(?) issue with ROMED8-2T

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a brand new ASRock ROMED8-2T. The installation seemed to go completely smoothly, but the system won't fully power on. When I hit the power button, the fans spin, the power LED comes on, and the IPMI interface comes up. There are also two LEDs on on the motherboard - a solid LED right above "AUX PANEL 1" and a blinking LED between PCIE1 and PCIE2.

I can connect to IPMI over the network. The the VSB sensors (3, 5, 1.8) are all green, as is the battery sensor. Every other sensor is "Not available" or "no event assertion."

If I go to 'System Information -> Power Source' both slots report "Power Supply Error". That sounds bad, but the main sensor page seems to be saying that the power is fine, so I'm not sure how to interpret this. My guess is that this is because I have nothing connected to the PSU SMBus Header.

If I ask IPMI to power on the board, it tries a couple of times before reporting "Performing power action failed."

There is no activity on the "Dr Debug" LED. I can't tell if I'm even getting the system beep because the chassis only has an HD Audio connection - not a simple Speaker connection.

The full component list is pretty minimal:

case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 (CC-9011030-WW)
cpu: AMD EPYC Rome 7262 8-Core 3.2 GHz
power supply: Seasonic FOCUS PX-750, 750W 80+
memory: Micron/Crucial PC4-2666V 2RX4 CL19 1.2V ECC DDR4 Memory (MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G6E1)
storage: M2 SSD (currently sitting next to the box, to rule it out as part of the problem).
