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. + +Other information +================= + +[specifications](https://web.archive.org/web/20181212180051/http://ftp.tekwind.co.jp/pub/asustw/mb/Socket%20F/KFSN4-DRE/Manual/e3335_kfsn4-dre.pdf) + +Copyright © 2015 Leah Rowe <info@minifree.org>\ + +Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document +under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.3 or any later +version published by the Free Software Foundation +with no Invariant Sections, no Front Cover Texts, and no Back Cover Texts. +A copy of this license is found in [../fdl-1.3.md](../fdl-1.3.md) |
