Supermicro h8dce won't post with new GPU.

[wytsevstrien]

My supermicro H8DCE worked fine but I bought a new video card Msi Radeon R9 270 (2gb) and it doesn't post.

There's an error code: 2 short beeps and 8 long beeps.

The manual said that it is a problem with the GPU but I don't know what's the problem.

The beep code from what I can find means it is not detecting a video adapter, which does not suprise me.

That is a very old dual socket server board, I highly doubt it's BIOS would support something like a R9 270. You can try to update the BIOS but I doubt even the newest version would support a 270.

Where can I find the bios update?

You can find it in the link below, look for 'update your bios' on the right side of the page. Both files on that page are the same except the .zip version will need to be extracted before you can use it. Consult your manual for the proper way to update the BIOS on that board. Follow the directions closely, if you mess up the update you could brick the board.
