| The thermal management hardware of the KGPE-D16 is somewhat unusual and limited. It supports both 4-pin and 3-pin fans, however even though it contains a PWM controller with 8 hardware channels, ASUS has only wired up two PWM channels to the fan connectors. To make matters worse, PWM channel 1 is routed to all 4-pin fans while PWM channel 2 is routed to all 3-pin fans. | The thermal management hardware of the KGPE-D16 is somewhat unusual and limited.

| If your KGPE-D16 server or workstation is equipped with a discrete graphics processor, the on-board VGA is disabled. Petitboot builds of Vikings do not have drivers for most discrete graphics processors, so there is no boot screen on which to select boot media, for example. Your display should start working as soon as Linux from an installed drive has been loaded. | If your KGPE-D16 server or workstation is equipped with a discrete graphics processor, the on-board VGA is disabled.

| - | A workaround for this is to enable the VGA jumper and connect a screen to the on-board VGA output because Petitboot has the required drivers for the on-board GPU (Aspeed AST2050) included. This is useful when installing a new operating system for example. The jumper settings can be reverted afterwards. | + | A workaround for this is to enable the VGA jumper and connect a screen to the on-board VGA output because Petitboot has the required drivers for the on-board GPU (Aspeed AST2050) included.
