How to: Arima AMD Opteron Quad Core Socket F 3000 series

[AXm77]

I have bad news.
Yesterday, I set my spare Arima to test components (cpu, memory, graphic, psu adapters), to be 100% sure, all are in working order.
Fedex speed up delivery, and I got motherboard today. First, I swapped components from my spare to new board, turn on switch, fans spun up
light on, but I saw constant 4th LED (red) on and nothing on monitor. On my spare board that LED making single flash, just before monitor turns on.
That new board have bunch DIP switches, so I started playing with that, with no results. After that, I installed Opteron 2378 (Shanghai) - same thing
constant red LED and nothing on monitor. Next was 2419 (Istanbul) - results were same..
In next step, I decided to go back to 8354 (B2) and swapped BIOS chips with my spare - nothing new.
After that I set up my spare board with Barcelona and dropped BIOS chip from new board - surprise - I saw light on monitor switching from amber to blue.
Next - kick in a.. - "Obey Man" welcome me, but it look different (he was smaller). I hit DEL and in BIOS, I went to check AGESA version
big disappointment - same 3.1.1.0. When you look at first page:



you can see older Core version (4.6.0 vs 4.6.1 in 1.06) and older date (08/10/2007 vs 04/16/2008).



So 80MS board is older revision - bad surprise. I'll try to backup that BIOS just for sake having it, and I'll send it back to seller (can't get it to work).

So list will look:

___-______-____ / 80MSVBD0-G0D01-1001 - first revision

41-CMG020-B00G / 40GCMG020-B500-005 - older version ?

41-CMG020-D00G / 40GCMG020-D400-100 - most popular blue one

41-CMG020-D01G / 40GCMG020-D750-106 - your green PCB
