K8D Master-F High/Low beep tones

Hello,
Running the system even on bare minimum (PSU, memory and CPUs only) the board will not post and will only return a constant high then low tone beep code. Information from AMIBIOS suggests faulty CPUs, but this is doubtful that both CPUs would be damaged (I've tried one at a time, and in different sockets), as their serial numbers are quite a distance apart.
Anything else I can try? or do I have a dead board?
Thanks in advance,
LJP

Full specs:
MSI K8D Master-F motherboard
2x Opteron 240 CPUs
4xGiel 512mb Dual channel ddr 3200 ram (even with all removed it gives the high low beep tones)
This board uses a SSI compliant PSU, its 24 pin main power, 8 pin additional power. 550W supply thats in it.
*Mass of edits*
Couldn't tell you if its registered DDR, ram isnt the problem though, it would give a ram error beep code running with no ram onboard, yet it still has the high/low beeptones.

K8D Master-F 2 long beeps

I have a K8D Master-F, it makes 2 repeating long beeps (high and low pitch) after a few seconds when powering up. The CPU is in CPU1. If I move the CPU to socket 2, the board powers up but no beeps. The only time it beeps is then a CPU is in CPU1, also I tried 2 CPU's, One being an Opteron 244 and a 242 (No i am not using dual at this time). Having the RAM in or out seem to have no effect with getting the beeps. Any ideas?

More spec's please.....
Check the BIOS for case-open detection, turn it off....
If it still makes the noise, check the piowersupply.
Also, JPWR2 should NOT be connected....

K8D Master-F 9131 problem with BIOS 1.2 and Raidcore BC4852

The board does not start the Raidcore BIOS with motherboard 9131 BIOS 1.2 installed. It works OK wih BIOS 1.1.
Raidcore 4852 FW is V130. (tested V110 = same problem)
Bios found here:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=441&kind=3
Both 1.1 and 1.2 BIOS was unable to recognise my Opteron 242 CPU steppings which indicate they are both quite old. Maybe MSI could fix these problems and include the newer CPU steppings like the ones for 250 CPUs. Bios 1.2 is dated nov. 28th 03 which is a year old. BUHU.
I am building a LARGE storage server based on this motherboard. Several others to come (planning on using the MSI K8D Master 3 -133 9161), but if MSI does not upgrade the BIOS for their high end boards I will start looking for another supplier real fast.

I'll stick with the V1.10, but I'd fell better if MSI showed me they actively update their systems by releasing updated BIOS files from time to time.
I can't sell a 15000$ storage system that doesn't recognise the CPUs installed. The customer would laugh and tell me to come back with a supported system.
Isn't this a VERY valid reason for wanting updates? Even if it only is an updated CPU list?
The only reason I tried this MSI board is that it was the only one available with my retailer at the time I bought it with 3 PCI-X 100Mhz slots. Maybe I should go with a Tyan Thunder next time. Tyan at least show some activity.

MOVED: Riser Card for K8D Master-FT (Rackmount)

This topic has been moved to Server/workstation.
Riser Card for K8D Master-FT (Rackmount)

There are extra cables there to supply power, You will need to break out a solder kit and hook them up to a molex connector (which is a fairly easy to do).

MSI K8D Master PCI-X Question

Hi,
I was just wandering if anyone could tell me if the MSI K8D Master is compatible with any PCI-X 16 video cards.
Any information would be appreciated.

This is a server board, and server typically have no use for AGP or other fancy videostuff.
You are confusing PCI-E with the PCI-X that the board has.
PCI-X is an extended PCI slot that can do 64bit and 100MHz instead of the normal PCI being 32 Bit and max 66MHz.
This lifts the PCI speed from max 256MB/s to 1.2GB/s.
Raid controllers and very-fast network controller bennefit a lot from this.
Ergo, the K8D boards are for server use only.
If you want a big graphical workstation with 2 Opterons, it's the K8T Master board that you are looking for.
But it also doesn't have PCI-E as of yet.

K8D Master

I am searching like crazy, but I can't seem to find any info on when the K8D Master (MSI-9131) (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_detail.php?UID=441&MODEL=MS-9131) motherboard will be for sale in Europe. ;( Can anyone tell me, or point me to this information? Any help is much appreciated!!

Hi again!
I've looked into the power supply of the other server we built with the same specs. and as far as i can see it does not have more than 18A*. It might just be that the motherboard is damaged, so we will return it now to the re-seller.

K8D Master-FT PCI / Riser Card Help

Ok, I have just taking my first venture into the true server class motherboard. We chose the K8D Master-FT w/ a pair of opteron 240's. I have ran into a few issues that I just can't seem to find any answers on.
1. We used a third-party case which didn't come with a riser card. Do I need a PCI-X riser card or can I still use a 32bit riser. Also once I have the correct riser card can I still use 32bit PCI devices on the riser?
2. Next if I only want to use one slot can I just use the PCI-X slot on the motherboard without a riser? If so can I use a 32bit PCI card?
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Ok. Here are the details. We get the system board in and we grab a rack case with the correct form factor. Problem is the case didn't come with a riser card. None the less we where under the same impression that we could stick a PCI or PCI-X card in the slot. We only have a single card (RAID controller) which we intend to use. When we insert the PCI (32-bit) raid card in the PCI-X slot the system won't boot. We even tried inserting the card every which way we could in the slot thinking maybe we had inserted it wrong. Still no luck. Should our raid controller be 64 bit? Also we did have some riser cards that came with some ATX form factor rack cases, but when inserted into the PCI-X slot, the card slots face oddly up the motherboard towards the I/O panel. Thanks.

K8D master ft onboard video problem

Hi, I have the k8d master ft and when I install a pci vid card the onboard video is disabled. Does anyone know how or even if it is possible to run both? I could not find anything in bios but maybe I missed it.
thanks.

Sorry, you can't....this happens on all boards that I have seen.

K8D Master 3-133 FA4R: deactivate VGA

Hi,
is it possible to deactivate the onboard-VGA on a K8D Master 3-133 FA4R?
I've a PCI-VGA Card wich works like an IP-Extender so i can view&control the Computer over the Internet.
Best Regards, Erwin Preuner

Well it does say Offboard PCI/ISA IDE device and then the manual talks about a graphics card should work correctly????
Could be a typo on the BIOS or in the manual (I hope the first), but that's the closest as I get to an option.
However, with most MSI boards, adding VGA card to a system with onboard VGA, will take the added over the onboard.
But I'm guessing now.

Multiprocessor PC ACPI vs MPS, K8D Master

I got a K8D Master with 2 AMD opterons....
I installed windows 2k pro on the pc. I was told I need to turn multiprocessor support on in device manager.. I went in to it and see that ACPI Multiprocessor PC is the driver installed.
Should I leave that (is it supporting both CPU's?) or shoould i change it to MPS Multiprocessor PC ??

ACPI Multiprocessor PC sounds right to me
ACPI Uniprocessor PC is the right way in a single set up
any thing else is a lesser set up im sure its similar

Does K8D Master-FT support Dual core Opteron?

Hi,
Does K8D Master-FT support dual core Opteron? I saw the latest BIOS was released at 2003/12/11 and said to support for all series of AMD Opteron(up to 248, SC, 2.2GHz/1M).
Thx, Xuekun

Sorry I only looked after his question.
The entire K8D-Master3 series has support for it: >>Link<<

K8D-Master and Highpoint SATA controllers

Has anyone been able to get a K8D-Master to boot from a Highpoint SATA controller?
I've tried 2 cards - the 1520 and the 1542 - both without much success.
Both cards are recognised in OS setup, but when it comes to boot, I just get the BIOS message saying "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" (interesting use of capitals!). This happens regardless of whether I've got the disks RAIDed or not.
The 1520 is all fine in the K8D-Master's BIOS boot section, but when you try to enter setup with a 1542 plugged it, it puts "WAIT" in the middle of the screen and freezes. Neither card it seems is capable of actually booting the machine - however both cards work perfectly in other boxes.
A Silicon Image (sil3112) controller works fine, however there is no support for its RAID functionality in FreeBSD and I'd rather not send this box packing without mirrored disks.
Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

ok never heard of it before
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_detail.php?UID=441
are you setting scsi second in boot order to cdrom
have you defined the array in the raid cards bios
have you hit f6 as xp install starts and feed in raid drivers
other than that it sounds like a bios issue your best emailing msi about
we dont get that many server board users in here

K8D Master 3 v1 and DC Opteron

Hi.
I found in QVL that this mobo support i.e. opteron 270 .
But I've some doubt.
For newer K8D Master 3 v2 is available bios update to support DC opteron.
For older K8D Master 3 v1 (this one I have) isn't available any bios update.
Anyone know why ?
Anyone has K8D Master 3 v1 with DC opteron ?
Regards.
Pashen.

Yes you do, look at the BIOS:

Yep better to be checked
