First time using a supermicro board.

Xeon E3 1231v3 and an OEM nVidia 405 card.

When powering it on, all the fans power on but I get what sounds like 3 beeps followed by a higher pitched beep. No video.

I seem to have trouble finding beep codes on the SuperMicro site but from web searches it seems SuperMicro has a habit of shipping v1 bios and often updating the bios is needed to work with modern CPUs.

I downoaded a bios update but it looks like it requires DOS - I was MacOS until 98 and when I switched to Linux, I literally don't have DOS nor am I familiar with it. Is there a place to download a DOS image that can put on a USB stick?

This board also supports IPMI. Is there maybe a Linux IPMI client I can use to update the bios from my CentOS laptop?

Thank you for suggestions.

I removed the memory modules and powered on and got five longer lower tone beeps, which is the only beep error code I can find for this board. So I don't think the error is from bad memory.

With the memory modules installed I get shorter beeps (I think three, hard to tell close together) higher tone that are closer together followed by one that is even higher.

I suppose it is possible the video card is bad, I will have to reseat it, and if that fails, see if I can find a vga cable somewhere.
