The system does not boot or shown video at power-on.

• Check that +12V CPU power connector is plugged in. Without this cable the processor will not have any power.
• Remove and replace DIMMs one DIMM at a time to isolate which one is causing problems.
• Remember, it is strongly recommended that all DIMMs be:
  • DDR2 667/800 compliant unbuffered, ECC or non-ECC.
  • The same speed.
  • From the same manufacturer.
  • Installed beginning with DIMM 1A.
  • Your power supply must provide a minimum of 420W with 2A standby current, which complies with the SSI EPS 12V specification.
  • Please consult the power budget tool on the Intel® Server Board S3200SH Family product page to determine the power requirement of your system.

The system sometimes works, but is exhibiting erratic behavior.

• This is typically the result of using an under-rated power supply. Make sure you are using at least a 420W power supply.
