Board-specific wiring (PCI interrupts, DIMM voltage selection). etc.
Board seems to use socketed SOIC-8 SPI flash according to tpearson, based on photos available online - looks like a ZIF socket or something else, a clip retaining the chip.

+ tpearson says: Tyan seems to have done the same thing as Asus did and built a whole lot of custom power control circuitry out of FETs.
+ According to him, this will take much effort to reverse engineer.

+ IPMI firmware is non-free but optional (for iKVM feature, remote management like Intel ME). Not sure if add-on module or baked in.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SAS controller requires firmware, but optional. (same thing on KGPE-D16). Board also has SATA, so it's fine.
