ROMED8-2T - No BMC

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

Hey all,

I've been collecting everything to build my first home server. Here is the parts list so far :

ROMED8-2T
AMD EPYC 7773x
Samsung M393A8G40AB2-CWE 64GB 2Rx4 PC4-25600 ECC Registered Server Memory RAM X 4
Noctua - NH-U14S TR4-SP3
EVGA Super Nova 1600 T2 PSW

I purchased the ROMED8-2T and EPYC7773x on ebay, and they arrived some time back with the CPU already in place, but I was waiting on other parts (cooler, power switch, ram etc). Yesterday, I hooked everything up, I get the PWR Standby LED on, but no BMC at all. Tried a different PSU, same result. I've since removed the Cooler, CPU and RAM, and still no BMC.

I've been advised on another forum that the ROMED8-2T is more than likely faulty. But would like that confirmed.

Various photos can be found here :

Would appreciate any advice, or potential things to try.

Cheers

	Bought mine through Amazon and found your post with google-dorks for similar issue (BMC page says "Updating Firmware" endlessly). I have a message into support; no response yet though. On a side note, I have googled around a lot and I am starting to wonder if there was a bad batch of these mobos. I'm pretty perturbed considering I dropped north of 6k on kit for this server.
