[SOLVED] I bricked my SuperMicro SuperWorkstation 7033A-T!!!

TKH · 06-27-2013, 09:44 PM

It was my mistake to mess with the MTRR setting in BIOS. Now my Workstation doesn't seem to work at all. The monitor screen displays only garbage and the system doesn't run (I auto-run SSH, it won't hook up).

Right now, I have totally bricked out my precious SuperWorkstation 7033A-T and I have no idea how to fix this mess.

Please help me.

Remove the CMOS battery for a minute or so?

That should work unSpawn, but its the 'down and dirty' method. I'd clear the CMOS with the jumper instead.

5-9, 'Jumper Settings' gives you the directions.

5-7, 'Motherboard Details' has a motherboard layout so you can locate the clear CMOS jumper.

So I used unSpawn's "down and dirty" method and it worked out perfect!
I couldn't find the jumper block in manual since its motherboard layout is somewhat different than mine.

Problem solved, thank you for all your help!
