Hello I was wondering if you could help me installing my xeon e5 2603 v4 on an Asrock x99 taichi Motherboard.
Do I need to have ECC memory installed in order for the system to work?
I have updated the motherboard's BIOS even due the manufacture set it wasn't necessary in order to get compatibility with Broadwell processor.
The board works just fine with an Intel i7 5820K and when I installed the Xeon didn't start, it didn't give any sings of being alive.
Could you help me please?
Looking forward for you response.

Is the processor new or used?

I could try with a Gskill memory.
No, I haven't. Tested the cpu on a different motherboard.
That's the interesting part, the dr debug screen doesn't start up. It remains uncoded. Although the rest of the system seems to start (graphic card, fans)
The Bios version I'm running is p 1.80.
Thank you for your response and help.
Looking forward for your answer.

Hello JGiro5,
Could you please provide me the specifications of the Gskill Memory that you have?
Also, can you test your system with minimal components?
I was reviewing the information about the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2603 v4on "ark.intel.com" and according to our website the processor supports the following memory type: DDR4 1600/1866.
You can try testing a memory type supported by the processor in order to verify if the issue is related to the memory.

Hello JGiro5,
According to our website the memory supports ECC, however, it will depend on of your motherboard specifications as well.
I was reviewing the website from ASRock of the motherboard you are using: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Taichi/#Specification and I found the following:

Hello JGiro5,
I hope you are doing great.
Our recommendation will be to test the system with minimal components.
If you know a different motherboard compatible with the Intel Xeon Processor, you can try to test the processor in order to verify if the processor is the defective component or not.
Please let us know the outcome in order to verify if there are some additional steps to test.
