It's all in the first page or two of this post. Quote: Posted by: TM30 Posted on: Sep 5th, 2005, 11:07am i take it for 30$

DAMN IT i only get a blinking cursor after boot when i use your image... i bought this board as functional, and the seller had good feedback so i do not know where is the failure Sad

can you tell me how these jumpers are set at the edge of the board (cmos clear i know, but the others nearby i do not know...)

and i need to know what bios settings you are using! screenshots of your bios would be cool

i only have one P3 550 installed, perhaps this is it? and i only have a IDE HDD, not a SCSI one!

gamma, i really want to complete this deal, i wanna know if i can get my merc working, if i will get it working you get your 200SBi, i promise. if not, youre getting your stuff back also as promised.

1) Try setting it up with Windows 2000 first to verify it's working, The 2000 disc has built in SCSI drivers and will work with no problem for board testing.

2) A second CPU is required or a CPU terminator card. You CAN use a second but slower CPU in the other slot, the motherboard will either disable one CPU or throttle down the faster CPU to the slower CPU speed.

One problem at a time!

Installing 2000 you can verify if the board and CPU combo is working, once the board is functioning wipe the hard drive then ghost the merc image on.

sorry, but i have to say it again: damn it Grin

formatting drive was okay, copying files from installation CD to hdd too, but after restarting it says :

NTLDR is missing

Press STRG+ALT+DEL to restart

AND i also notice 2 failures which occur shortly after bios initiation:

ERROR: 8110 Server Management Interface failed to function
8112: BMC in Update Mode

what the heck?
