ASUS KFSN4-DRE server/workstation board

- -

- This is a server board using AMD hardware (Fam10h). It can also be used - for building a high-powered workstation. Powered by libreboot. -

- -

- - NOTE: This board is unsupported in libreboot 20150518. - To use it in libreboot, for now, you must build for it - from source using the libreboot git repository. - -

- -

- Flashing instructions can be found at ../install/index.html#flashrom -

- Back to previous index. -

- -

Form factor

- These boards use the SSI EEB 3.61 form factor; make sure - that your case supports this. This form factor is similar - to E-ATX in that the size is identical, but the position of - the screws are different. -

- -

Flash chips

- These boards use LPC flash (not SPI), in a PLCC socket. The default flash size - 1MiB (8Mbits), and can be upgraded to 2MiB (16Mbits). - SST49LF080A is the default that the board uses. - SST49LF016C is an example of a 2MiB (16Mbits) chip, which might work. - It is believed that 2MiB (16Mbits) is the maximum size available for the flash chip. -

- - DO NOT hot-swap the chip with your bare hands. Use a PLCC - chip extractor. These can be found online. - See http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual/Tools#Chip_removal_tools - -

- -

Native graphics initialization

- Native graphics initialization exists (XGI Z9s) for this board. - Framebuffer- and text-mode both work. A serial port is also - available. -

- -

Memory

- DDR2 533/667 Registered ECC. 16 slots. Total capacity up to 64GiB. -

- -

Hex-core CPUs

- PCB revision 1.05G is the best version of this board (the - revision number will be printed on the board), because it - can use dual hex-core CPUs (Opteron 2400/8400 series). Other - revisions are believed to only support dual quad-core CPUs. -

- -

Current issues

- There seems to be a 30 second bootblock delay (observed by tpearson); - the system otherwise boots and works as expected. - See text/kfsn4-dre/bootlog.txt - - this uses the 'simple' bootblock, while tpearson uses the 'normal' - bootblock, which tpearson suspects may be a possible cause. - This person says that they will look into it. - This config doesn't have the issue. -
- Text-mode is a bit jittery (but still usable). (the jitter disappears - if using KMS, once the kernel starts. The jitter will remain, if - booting the kernel in text-mode). -
