1-5-4-4 beep code for an Intel S5500HCVR motherboard
Hi,
I am swapping out a motherboard in a server for an Intel S5500HCVR model server m/b. Added both cpus and memory. I am getting a 1-5-4-4 beep code when powering up, which is a Power control fault (power good assertion timeout). I've swapped out the p/s for a new one and get the same thing. Also tested both PSUs with an Antec tester and they both appear good.
I can't test the 2nd cpu slot independently due to this m/b needing slot 1 filled first, but I have tested both CPUs and memory in the 1st slot.
Is there something on this m/b that I'm missing in terms of power requirements? The 8 pin CPU leads also tested good, FWIW.
Thanks!

Replac the cooling fans of Processors. if you can use another type and retest.

Hi David,
Sadly, this model was EOL'd a long time ago. I had forgotten I had it and decided to try it out.
I'll test each processor/fan combination in slot 1 and see what happens. Thanks!

Well, this is interesting. Now neither m/b (the production one I took out) nor the Intel replacement will boot up. Am using the original p/s with the production board, and the new p/s with the Intel replacement. Tested both PSUs and they tested good. The Intel board I tested outside the case and the production board while installed. This is quite weird. I haven't seen this in decades.

Finally found it. Apparently there is something odd with the 8 pin connector. When I plugged in a Y splitter to it and plugged that into the m/b, it came up just fine. But plugging the original 8 pin into the connector for CPU1 didn't do anything. Possibly could be something w/ the connection on the m/b itself. All I need it to do is run for another month, after which it will be replaced.
Thanks so much for the guidance!
