Problem with ROMED8-2T build

   Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

This is my first AMD based build of this kind after the 10 years old Intel 5520SCR/Areca ARC-1880ix-12 based workstation/storage died last year and I decided to go with AMD, which I always wanted.

Components:

MB: ROMED8-2T
BIOS: P1.10
BMC: P1.00.00
CPU: AMD EPYC 7702P (100-100000047WOF)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 with two 14 inch Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM in push/pull
Fans: 8*Noctua 12 inch NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, 1*(200x30mm) Noctua NF-A20 PWM
RAM: 8*32GB RDIMM (KSM32RD8/32MER)
PSU: Corsair AX 1660i
UPS: CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave, 1500VA/1000W
Video Card: AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100
M.2 Drive: Samsung 970 PRO SSD 512GB
Case: Cooler Master ATCS 840
Test bench: Half-Deck Tech Station - Large size (EATX)

My intention is to build a DAS with 16 RAID Card-attached internal SAS drives with potential to extend aiming eventually to DAW.

In BMC webUI when I go to Power Control, it says "Host is currently on" and "Power On" is inactive so I can't select it.
KVM display says "Powered Off. No Signal" but "Power On Server" is inactive as well.
Then I tried to Power Off and after retrying twice it fails and logs me off. 
Unfortunately, i don't have an option for attaching any screenshot images.
I had only CPU installed and two sticks installed according to the manual, which should be enough for troubleshooting purposes.
So I can't power the MB on for it to POST nor can I power it down unless switching the PSU off like before.
After speaking with ASRock support, I was suggested to check the CPU if the plastic holding bracket was pre-installed in correct orientation and check is the CPU's edges match the studs around the socket's rim, as well as making sure, that those three hex screws on the CPU socket were securely tightened. They said based on my problem description, it matches to the scenario when there were a couple of incidents from other users during the troubleshooting, that they later found their CPU came in the holder in opposite position.
I reinstalled the CPU and the positioning was correct with all edges matching the the studs withing the rim. In fact I installed another spare CPU I had 7262 observing the positioning, which was the same , and the rest and the result was exactly the same.
Any thought are greatly appreciated, since I wouldn't expect the reply from ASRock before 01/04
