+title: 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.
+
+Flashing instructions can be found at
+[../install/\#flashrom](../install/#flashrom)
+
+Form factor {#formfactor}
+===========
+
+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 {#flashchips}
+===========
+
+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 {#graphics}
+==============================
+
+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 {#hexcore}
+=============
+
+PCB revision 1.05G is the latest version of this board and the best one
+(the revision number is be printed on the board), if you want to use
+dual hex-core CPUs (Opteron 2400/8400 series), though only two board
+configurations are believed to support them. Other revisions are
+believed to only support dual quad-core CPUs.
+
+To be sure your board supports a CPU check the official ASUS website here:
+<https://www.asus.com/support/cpu_support>. Note: not all CPUs are listed.
+
+If you are running a Hex-Core CPU on any board version, please contact us.
+
+Board configurations {#configurations}
+==============
+There are 7 different configurations of this board: "standard", 2S, iKVM,
+iKVM/IST, SAS, SAS/iKVM and SAS/iKVM/IST.
+
+The 2S boards have two PCI-E slots with the numbers of lanes shared,
+making each slot have 8 lanes.
+
+The iKVM boards are so called because they offer a remote real-time access
+to the machine through a removable PCI management card, their hardware is
+the same as the non-iKVM ones.
+
+The SAS versions have a 4-port SAS controller and a four 7-pin SAS connectors
+instead of the PCI-E 8x slot which is present in all the other board configurations.
+Note: the SAS functionality is **not supported** by libreboot.
+
+The IST versions with PCB revision 1.05G are the ones who are believed to
+support the six core Opteron Istanbul processors (2400 and 8400 series).
+
+Current issues {#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](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](http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=board-status.git;a=blob;f=asus/kfsn4-dre/4.0-10101-g039edeb/2015-06-27T03:59:16Z/config.txt;h=4742905c185a93fbda8eb14322dd82c70641aef0;hb=055f5df4e000a97453dfad6c91c2d06ea22b8545)
+ doesn't have the issue.
+
+- Text-mode is jittery and it may not be usable, so it's recommended
+ to flash the BIOS with the coreboot frame-buffer image (kfsn4-dre_vesafb.rom).
+ The jitter disappears if using KMS once the kernel starts, but it will
+ remain, if booting the kernel in text-mode.
+
+- Booting from USB mass storage devices is not possible; neither GRUB
+ nor SeaBIOS detect USB drives when present. USB keyboards function
+ under both GRUB and SeaBIOS, albeit slowly under GRUB (several seconds per
+ character typed).
+
+- To install an operating system you will need a hard disk
+ with a pre-installed OS otherwise you have to plug in another hard disk or
+ a CD/DVD reader in order to boot a copy of the installer of your OS, since
+ the USB booting doesn't work.
