Thank you for your answer.

The "Waiting for BMC Initializing" message is the very first message that appears on screen, which means I am not able to get into the BIOS. Sometimes the boot stops at a message saying "System Initializing...", also the very first text appearing.

I have not installed an OS yet (that would require a booting computer), but I have put freenas on a usb key that is connected to the computer.

I am not sure what you mean by "the BMC and IPMI seem to not be configured". What configuration are you referring to? I can't reach the BIOS, but I did access the IPMI. I have not been able to find the option "Wait for BMC" or any other configuration option related to BMC.

What could I be doing wrong?
I have one memory module:
I have tried to put the memory module in each of the blue sockets, but no difference.

I did also try the suggested solution here:
(remove battery, memory, power cables, wait, plug it all in again)

Please let me know if there is any other information I could give you to help me get going.

Thanks.



Have you configured the BMC in the BIOS? Or logged into the IPMI interface?

Those are basic features of a server board like yours. It seems as if you aren't familiar with these things.

You said you can't boot the PC, have you installed an OS yet?

Try this, in the BIOS, find the Server Mgmt screen. In that screen, find the Wait For BMC option, which is probably set to Enabled. Change it to Disabled.

Since the BMC and IPMI seem to not be configured (no information about that in your post), the BMC initialization is failing or stuck.

Disable Wait For BMC, save and exit the BIOS, and let us know what happens.

I have the same problem with my EPC612D4U-2T8R board with dual 2630 v4. The ram comes from the qvl so should be good.

No qlue whats wrong. No beeps op anything and the bmc led keeps blinking green.
