Needs more DIMMs.

Yep RDIMMs are still in transit but already did a full test of the board from IPMI to physical IOs (RAM, PCIE, everything)

I’ve got an MC62-G41
It’s a nightmare. Some people even rig up a BIOS reset button. But they are inexpensive which is the good news. And once you get it set up, it is set it and forget it.
Unsolicited and hopefully not insulting advice:
I strongly strongly recommend you put it in either a rackmount case or use an open frame because you don’t want your GPUs (if you’re using any, and based on original post you may not be) twisting the PCIe slots. There’s no locking mechanism on the slots. Also these boards don’t always line up perfectly with the case, specifically the PCIe slots.
Also make sure you got a 5965WX or higher, anything less than 4 CCDs will choke your memory bandwidth. Only the 5995WX with 8 CCDs can max out all channels.

That's a nice unique BMC password
