H8QGi+-LN4F

The H8QGi+-LN4F has four onboard LAN ports. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QGi+-F, but this has not been tested.

H8QG7+-LN4F

The H8QG7+-LN4F has an onboard SAS controller and four onboard LAN ports. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QG6+-F, but this has not been tested.

H8QGi-F

The H8QGi-F is a H8QGi+-F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. The coreboot image for the H8QGi+-F can be used, but the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.

H8QG6-F

The H8QG6-F is a H8QG6+-F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. The coreboot image for the H8QG6+-F can be used, but the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.

H8QGi-LN4F

The H8QGi-LN4F is a H8QGi+-LN4F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QGi+-F, but this has not been tested; the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.

H8QG7-LN4F

The H8QG7-LN4F is a H8QG7+-LN4F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QG6+-F, but this has not been tested; the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.

Onboard BMC

This section is an excerpt from Nuvoton WPCM450.[edit]

The Nuvoton WPCM450, or simply the WPCM450, is a BMC chip used in the SuperMicro family of boards containing the "-F" suffix. Multiple vendors shipped the WPCM450 with Linux, making it feasible to build an open source replacement for the original BMC firmware. 3rd party documentation and tools have been developed by neuschaefer and are available on github.
