I had a cool little bare-bones server that had an x8 series mobo and I wanted to turn it into a NAS. I ended ordering a X11SSM-F board so that I could use some better hardware. From what I could tell it should be a simple swap, but I put everything together today and cant get the dumb thing to POST.

Ive tried unplugging everything but the PSU and send the power-on command from IPMI. I've tried with 4 sticks of ram, 1 stick and no ram. I never get a beep or fans or anything.

I bought this board off ebay and it came with a processor installed and was "pulled from a working system". If I can Verify that its DOA then I'm sure I can get a refund, but I want to make sure I test everything I can before going that route.

Thanks for the notes! I’ll look around for this post card. I have power and IPMI LEDs looking happy but only after I latch power by shorting the ATX connector to ground and skipping the power button header.
