A brief summary: Nothing works.
# ./flashrom -p internal flashrom v0.9.7-r1711 on Linux 3.8.0-29-generic (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK. Found chipset "AMD AMD8111". Enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
It's likely that remote management (DRAC, iLO/IPMI) peripheral hardware are hiding the flash chip.
Log from lspci, superiotool, and flashrom 0.9.7 attached.
The X4500 is from 2006, my guess is that the flash chip comes in the TSOP form factor: http://flashrom.org/Technology
Can you remove the CPU/processor board (and take a high resolution photo)?
