08-22-2022, 05:30 PM #1Hello All and happy new year! Quick question for you all, I'm currently building a home server and picked up a used 1st Gen Epyc from a Dell Server. I put it into a Supermicro H11SSL-NC motherboard. But I can't seem to get it to POST. I borrowed my buddies Epyc that he has plus his RAM from his PowerEdge server but it still did not POST. I have sent my motherboard back to supermicro twice already (posted both times for them) and have tried a different power supply. I've made some calls and did some googling but no one seems to know if a Dell Epyc is actually compatible with a SuperMicro motherboard. I'm assuming Dell might put some microcode onto the cpu? CPU: AMD 7601 (from a poweredge server) MB: supermicro h11ssl-nc RAM: SKynix 32GB 2666 ECC memory (they came with the CPU), But I also tried some supported Samsung memory and still no POST.
