R2308GZ4GC won't boot

[Ernie]

Hi guys,

I've got a 2U R2308GZ4GC second hand and can't get it to boot. 5 DDR3 ram sticks 10600 which test OK with the led indicator on the board (1 didn't which is how I found that)

CPU is 2x xeon 2620 but I've got some 2697s to put in if I can get it going.

It powers on and beeps fast 3 times I get onboard video output with the ability to press a key for about 1 second but then it hangs.

The LED lights on the back say b2h which if you read the manual is either MRC progress code 'gather remaining SPD data' or 'DXE legacy rom init'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ernie
