Did you test CPU's? You can just move good memory to CPU 2 & 3 and check if board will post.
Sent you PM.

ive not moved the good ram to the other ram slots yet...
will it still post even tho there will be no ram in cpu0 slots?
Yes, it will work. That is how I get in BIOS with B3's (remove memory from Socket 0 and exchange B3 to my crippled B2).
i see
what do you mean by this?Originally Posted by AXm77
EDIT: it does boot with ram in cpu 2 and cpu3

To be able to get in to BIOS (1.0.0), I have to replace my 8350HE (B3) in socket 0 with 8354 (B2 - I have one with damaged memory controller, can't handle any memory).
So your CPU's are OK.
ahh i get you now....
anyone willing to up there bios?
I need a CPU to do it :/
when ya looking at getting a cpu bud?
there relatively inexpensive now
When I finish my ITX build... so maybe mid August
ok cools
I'll be keeping my eye out on eBay for a single 83** to test the board, may pull trigger on that one this week depending on finances
sweet.....
also AXm77 you have a PM
just a pic of my setup
aftermarket NB cooler that was on my gigabyte MB and some spare SB coolers on the other chips

i need to get a better cooler on CPU 2 as its to small and run quite abit hotter than the others
CPU2? The one with dual fans?

Yep
i could have said CPU 3 i suppose
I don't recall which CPU socket is which. Just was guessing by the stacked cooling on the one

I've been discussing with some mates about what this board was for/who it was made for
-Made for google? Some say made for HP.. but HP have their own boards!
-No onboard VGA but some have a modified BIOS flash (the obey man).. why?
-Does the board boot headless?
-The nVidia 3050 chip supports 12 SATA 2, so why does the board have the Marvell chips for SATA?
-The board covers the big 3 in servers - Cores, Memory and Storage... Why all three in one chassis? WTF were they used for?
-Why is it so damn fussy about graphics cards?
-Why is there only one seller on eBay with a chassis for this board? Who made the chassis, and is it custom for him? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-AMD-Opte...t_11094wt_1110
-Where the hell did he get so many arimas from to warrant a custom chassis if the above is true? He also has a LOT of GooMM RAM for the systems he's selling (Google Memory modules) He has 335 boards at current count on eBay, as well as 197 of the low end prebuilt systems with chassis, and 196 of the higher end systems.
-Why is the ACPI implementation so horrid Windows refuses to install?
-What are the extra 4 pins for on the power inputs?
-What would it take to get the Shanghai cpus to work? AGESA update? Fix the damned ACPI?
I have more q's than answers! Even with the manual I'm building -_-

How about HP was delivering systems for Google and Arima was maker of this board. No VGA on-board is biggest mystery. With BIOS 1.0.0 it will not boot without VGA card.
Marvell controllers (I didn’t check ones on board) can support port multiplier. Problem with VGA, no Windows etc. is BIOS implementation (Google do not need Windows support or all different VGA support).
My theory about chassis and green boards is: maybe HP was setting them for someone else??
4-pin extra is probably SMB bus or something like that. If you check this link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10209580-92.html you can see on first picture board is powered with 2 EPS connectors and extra mystery connector (next to PCI slot). I got my hands on dual Opteron board (socket 940), I believe it was made for Google too (same generation as Intel board in article)
That connector is actually very common on server boards. I think it is for PSU monitoring by the system, so it can read redundant PSU setups and set alarms when one fails, that kind of thing.

Indeed it is - I used to build intel servers (board, cpu, chassis, psu) and you needed to connect the psu to that port on the board so the board could control the fan in the psu iirc.
That is a SMBus connector, I'm meaning the extra 4 on the 18pin, the one next to the 16 pin!
Ah yes, that google server.. I have one of those boards sitting downstairs. Never worked for me, but does that mean i have two ex-google server boards 0.0
I think they moved SMBus to that 18-pin connector. Which one you have? Intel or AMD?
Intel dual Xeon. made by Gigabyte iirc
