My bluefield2 is totally unresponsive

Hi all,

I have a BlueField-2 DPU100GbE (Model No: BF2H516A), and it is totally unresponsive.

I install it on AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + b450 platform, and DELL R750 server, with 12V ATX plugged.

The lights never come on. And lspci never found it.

Is this normal? Is this card good? What should I do to check if it’s good or bad?

Thanks!



Hi,

You should follow this guide to make sure everything is set correctly:

I had a somewhat similar problem in the past, the DPU was overheating and shutting itself down.
Make sure you are providing adequate ventilation
