Hello Dan
Thank you for the response.
In answer to your questions:
This is a system I am looking at is ex-lease and came without processor and ram.
The memory I have on hand is from other machines and known good but not sure if it is validated for this board.
I have HP part number 500203-061 which are samsung m393b5170eh1-ch9 , DDR3 PC3-10600, CL=9, ECC Registered, DDR3-1333MHz, 1.5V, 512M x 72, 8 Banks, 240pins
I have 4 intel E5-2670 V1 processors for testing SR0KX that came out of servers.
I have tested 3 of the 4 processors individually in socket 1 and various combinations of the three with both sockets populated
When I had a single processor and no memory I got 3 beeps
With no processor I got the expected 1-5-2-1 beep code
The VGA header is missing its cable and I have on hand both an Quadro NVS295 and an Asus GTX970 for testing both known good
The results above are without PCIe populated but from memory were the same with graphics card in.
My current guess is either DIMM incompatible or corrupt/out-dated bios
Any suggestions appreciated
