and here i thought DELL servers took unnecessarily long to POST

wtf asrockrack!?

sitting in a hot aisle, waiting for this fucking box to POST for 10+ mins... I really cant recommend this garbage to anyone

i just want to get to the bios/uefi

but no... staring at a black screen for 5 min already after hitting ctrl-alt-del

at least dell and supermicro have the fucking courtesy to show something on screen while the hardware initializes
fuck you asrockrack
omg it lives
@kajer did it have to do some checksum on every single byte of 256GB of ram or something?

@kajer

No way! After so long I kind of assumed a bad drive was borking POST. I have had a couple mysterious misbehaviors among the batches of drives here that when plugged in just fuck the entire system. No reason, no warning, nothing. Hot swap into a live system and instant freeze up. I'll have to dig around and see if I still have those around. Headaches!

Anyway, good luck!

Cool, I've been staring at the "entering setup" screen for 4 mins already
