Hi,
I have a couple different Supermicro board models based on the Intel E7501 chipset. The website and people in IRC indicated there is some support for this chipset and that it might be possible to get these working. Here is the information requested in the FAQ
Supermicro X5DP8-G2 =================== Product Page http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/E7501/X5DP8-G2.cfm Board Manual http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/E7501/MNL-0684.pdf
Product page lists Intel E7501 chipset MCH + ICH3-S + P64H2
flashrom -V indicates "Intel ICH3-S" ""Intel 82802AB" (512 KB, FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000." flash is socketed, print on chip is "Intel N82802AB8 A3417434"
superiotool -dV indicates "Winbond W83627HF/F/HG/G (id=0x52, rev=0x17) at 0x2e"
Supermicro X5DPR-8G2+ ===================== Product Page http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/E7501/X5DPR-8G2_.cfm Board Manual http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/E7501/MNL-0684.pdf
Product page lists Intel E7501 chipset MCH + ICH3-S + P64H2
flashrom -V indicates "Intel ICH3-S" ""Intel 82802AB" (512 KB, FWH) at physical address 0xfff80000."
superiotool -dV indicates "Winbond W83627HF/F/HG/G (id=0x52, rev=0x17) at 0x2e"
Full output of lspci, flashrom, and superiotool for both boards is available at

The manual PDF mentioned above is the same for both boards and applies to the following boards X5DP8-G2 X5DPE-G2 X5DPR-8G2+ X5DPR-iG2+ X5DPi-G2+ So hopefully that means they will be similar enough to be enabled together.
I'm willing to test, I have a null modem cable and a POST card, etc.
Thanks,
