April 8, 201610 yr Hello everybody, first of all: Sorry, English is not my native language, but i will try my best! So I opened a thread in this forum, i bought several parts for my server, as advised in this forum. Now that they all have arrived, I build the server, but it won't work! The setup: Mainboard: ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 RAM: Samsung 64GB (8x8GB) PC3L-10600R DDR3 1333Mhz ECC R 605313-071 CPU: 2x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2670 SR0KX 2.60GHz LGA2011 20MB The problem is: Half of the ram is recognised in bios, but it is not working. Every ram-module in the slots on the left side (e, f, g and h) is doing fine, but for every ram-modul installed on the right side (a, b, c und d) i get the report that the module did not pass the cpu memory test. I rearranged the ram-modules, i tried to use only the white slots, only the blue slots,... every different module is doing fine on the left side. I also switched the cpu's but this didn't help too. So please: Have you any advice for me? Anything to narrow down which parts may be broken? Or do i need to change something in the bios? Thank you very much for your help in advance! Please note that in the pictures the ram-module in f1 is missing - i didn't installed it right, i already fixed this. All the other modules are installed in the right way.
April 12, 201610 yr You likely do not have the ram seated properly. It does take quite a bit of effort to get the ram properly inserted into the ram slots. Try reseating the ram.
April 12, 201610 yr I had this issue on my most recent SuperMicro boards. One bank of DIMMs would not recognize once I mounted it in the case. Turns out, the motherboard was shorting out. So, test the board outside of the enclosure, or set the MB on a piece of cardboard or something.
April 25, 201610 yr Author It's been a while but I figured (after trying everything I found online) that either my MB is defect or my RAM is incompatible. Turns out the board really was defective, got a new one now and everything is working flawless! Just wanted to let you guys know in case someone has a similar problem.
