m10jnp2sb Server board with a Xeon E-2278G

[Vince2766]

I have a Intel m10jnp2sb Server board with a Xeon E-2278G / 3.4 GHz processor.   

I have an ATX Case -  Fractal Design Node 804 No Power Supply MicroATX Cube Case FD-CA-NODE-804-BL, Black 

with a Power Supply - Seasonic FOCUS PX-850, 850W 80+ Platinum Full-Modular, Fan Control in Fanless, Silent, and Cooling M...

I have 64GB of the required DIMM outline for this board.  

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000055644/server-products/server-boards.html - This link shows I need the        Sea Sonic FOCUS PLUS* 1000 Gold SSR-1000FX 1000W

I have everything connected properly.   The problem I am seeing is the server turns on, but it makes a few clicking sounds without drives hooked up, and flashes / blinks constant Green Lights on the board and one of the PCI-e 3.0 x8 card I have in one of the PCI slots. 

Can someone please assist me if this is a Power Supply problem, bad CPU or a bad motherboard?   

Thanks

Hello Vince2766,

Thank you for joining the Intel community

It is soon to tell about a possible PSU incompatibility. I would suggest to reseat all the cabling and try a minimal configuration (board, CPU, 1 DIMM) to check the behavior. Based on the outcome we can move on.

I will look forward for your updates.
