Need component help/advice on building 4U server

@dtessman: The build worked out great. I ended up using the Rosewill case with most of the rest of the things I listed. The only gripe I had was that the power supply I got didn't 100% fit in the case, so I was only able to screw about half of the screws, and the power supply is kind of...

4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

Thanks for the replies. I will be calling their support team again today, but I don't know what else they can say. Hopefully they will offer some good insight. I will follow your x86 POST troubleshooting steps and will report my findings. The only addon card I have is an LSI RAID adapter...

4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

Hello, I wanted to re-bump/open this thread as I have some updates (and some bad news): I ended up getting a replacement motherboard from Supermicro (did a cross-ship due to time constraints). I did a full swap, and now the problem is even worse. When I have all 6 DIMMs (total: 48GB) in...

4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

Hi Everyone, Well I tried blowing some serious air into the DIMM slot and no luck. I then said what the heck and removed one of the CPUs (in the slot farthest from the back of the case/ports), and I couldn't make out any bent pins. Do you think it's even worth removing the 2nd CPU to see if...

4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I was away all weekend so now I'm back to see if I can get this problem resolved. Yes, the above configuration is the way I have the DIMMs installed. All the RAM modules are identical (Samsung M393B1K70DH0-CH9). Even if only 1 of the slots isn't working...

Ok, I will give that a shot. In the case that all the pins look good, what's the next course of action? Is there any chance that the DIMM socket is bad?

4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

Are you talking about CPU socket or RAM socket? If RAM socket, is there any way I could test that socket? I've installed probably over 100+ RAM modules over the years and never have I damaged a RAM socket...

4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

I'm 'opening' this thread again, as I am now running into another problem. I was successfully able to get the system to detect all 32GB RAM. Now, I have purchased 2 additional 8GB RAM modules (for a total of 48GB), and when I install them in the correct place (according to the reference...

Thanks for the replies. I accidentally installed them thinking I had all 6 sticks instead of the current 4 sticks, and followed the 6-stick configuration I am running 2 CPU's, so it is properly seeing 32GB now. Thanks.

4 8GB DIMMs in Server motherboard, only showing 24GB, help!

Hello, I have built a 4U server, using a Supermicro X9DR3-F motherboard. I have purchased four 8GB DIMMs, Samsung M393B1K70DH0-CH9 ECC sticks. Ultimately I will be purchasing a total of 6, so I have 48GB RAM, but they are sold out at certain places and 4 is what I have so far. When I...

Hello, I've been using the ASRock H77M-ITX motherboard for a while now (over 6-8 months). I've installed Windows Server 2012 Core (Hyper-V) on it to run some VMs, and I've been using Remote Desktop to connect to its command-line interface. Tonight, I upgraded the CPU and noticed that the...

I have an issue, and I hope you all can help. I recently purchased a Netgear WNDR3700 router (v4) and flashed the router with DD-WRT firmware (the router is very new so the only firmware available is still in 'pre-release'. For the most part, everything has been working great. However, I am...

Need component help/advice on building 4U server

Many thanks for the responses, everyone. I am going with 4U simply because space really isn't an issue and I thought the more, the merrier. in addition, this machine is being housed in a place where there should be adequate air flow, but in the event that air flow/temperature is tight, I...
