X10QBi
From dankwiki
A SuperMicro motherboard supporting four LGA2011 CPUs and eight SuperMicro memory boards. The physical board comes in at least versions 1.01 and 1.21. It requires a SuperMicro AOM-X10QBi-A/L I/O board to boot (the card uses a proprietary slot).
Contrary to some information online, it boots just fine off a single CPU in Socket 1.
Boot codes
If the machine immediately goes to state FF and doesn't leave, the CPU output ports are not being written to. You have either a bad motherboard, at least one bad processor, and/or at least one badly-seated processor.
