I was recently running into an error installing windows server on my server, and the error indicated that I needed to update the BIOS. So I attempted with the most recent version posted for this board (BIOS R02.06.0007). I followed the instructions to the letter, and after it was done it said "remove usb and restart the system". So after doing that I was presented with a screen telling me what platform and bios version was installed, then it would reboot, then this cycle continued for a while.
Finally I realized that this wasn't normal and searched for a way to fix it. Other people seemed to have luck with BIOS recovery so I switched the jumper over and followed the recovery steps outlined in the instructions for that BIOS update. Upon reboot it beeped twice, then several seconds later it beeped 4 more times. I looked this up and it indicated a failure.
I'm not sure what else to do at this point since I can't seem to find any information on where to look to troubleshoot this, plus this platform is discontinued so nothing I can really be too upset about since a used board off of ebay is only around $60. But ideally i'd like this just get this working again before going that route. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: On the support documentation for the server I found a chart for decoding the diagnostic lights. The lights go from F0h - F3h and that is where the failure beeps occur. So it seems to find the capsule but fails when trying to load it.
