Build a KGPE-D16 server
- [x] A KGPE-D16 motherboard (~750RMB)
- [x] one/two AMD Opteron 6276 (~500RMB)
- [x] heatsink
- [x] UDIMM/RDIMM memory modules
- [x] SSI EEB case (~400RMB)
- [x] SSI power supply unit (not so easy to buy) (~1000RMB)
more things to do:
- [x] a graphics card
- [x] a PCIe NVMe adapter
Now it can boot with one CPU, but can't boot with two CPUs. Maybe the PSU has a bug, a new one will be arrived.
Now GTX 750 works but doesn't work with xf86-video-nouveau. coreboot with Linux payload works and supports the nVIDIA card. NVMe boot is not tested yet.
