A new dawn

Yesterday arrived my new server. The setup i’ ve choosen is based upon 8 AMD Opteron CPU’s and glued together with the mighty tyan S4985+M4985. Here is some spec:

Cpu: 8 AMD dual core Model 8220
Mobo: Tyan S4985+M4985
RAM: 128 GB of ECC Kingston (KVR667D2D4P5K2) ( yes 128 )
Hard disks: 8 750 GB Seagate 7200.11 ( yes 8 )

It’s a real monster, or better should be a real monster. Indeed it doesn’ t boot. The first run was made with a single cpu (obviously on socket 0) and 4 GB of ram, later i’ ve tried with the full setup but with any changes.  It doesn’t initialate keybord and video and the only error code taht i’ m getting it’s a very short “beep” immediately after i’ ve pressed the power botton. I’ m reading a “2C”.
