What is the little tab stocking up on the top?
(Edited to remove dumb questions that if I had looked more carefully at Libre Crafts, I would not have asked)

The tab sticking up at the top pulls off the lid covering the drive bays.

Really excited about these machines!!
One question: I barely know what im saying but do they have the IME/PSP disabled? Or can someone explain how to safely disable it?
Thanks!

It is finely knitted flexible looped fabric ribbon that can lay flat or be bent over the back.

RE: Libre Crafts AMD Ryzen 7 5825U Freedombox
Handsome!
I’m not that familiar with what you’re speaking of, but in looking thru the AMI BIOS config screens, I see the following:
Advanced-\>Trusted Computing…
TPM 2.0, Firmware 3.92, Vendor AMD
Advanced-\>AMD CBS
AMD CBS Revision number 0x10
```
SOC Miscellaneous Control
PSP RPMC Switch Auto
ABL Console Out Control Auto
ABL PMU message Control Auto (fixed)
```
Security-\>Secure Boot
secure Boot Disabled
FYI, the BIOS screen is accessed during boot with DEL on a keyboard.
I was able to boot from a live USB drive into other Linux OSes w/o issue.

The OP refers to the [Intel Management Engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine), a non-free OS internal to all modern Intel CPUs and not visible to the OS, which looks like the perfect place for a backdoor (it has access to all CPU resources and it has its own network protocol stack).
I know less details about AMD, but I think all modern AMD CPUs have the [AMD PSP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Platform_Security_Processor) which looks functionally similar.

rickbol thank you for that BIOS info and yes, thank you, Avron, you are correct.

Hi all,
thank you very much for making this new, more powerful FreedomBox hardware available. It looks like a very interesting option, especially for users like me who would like to run several services, store larger amounts of data, and avoid the limitations of single-board computers (after using a Pioneer for about four years now).
I noticed that sales are still limited to the United States and Canada, while worldwide availability was planned for the future. Do you have an estimate of when customers in Europe - particularly within the EU - might be able to purchase these devices directly?
This would be greatly appreciated, as it could help avoid high international shipping costs, import VAT, customs procedures, and possible handling fees. It would also make warranty returns and other support-related matters considerably easier than ordering from overseas.
Your work on this initiative and on FreedomBox in general is highly appreciated! I look forward to hearing about the plans for European availability.
Cheers!

Availability in EU will likely happen in a couple of months. However, these will be initially shipped from the US. You are right about all the overhead incurred in shipping from US.
Directly shipping from EU will certainly take more time (unlikely this year) as we need to work out a way to provide the machines from EU without importing them into the US. We can only do this after sales volume increases.

Hi Sunil,
Are you able to ship worldwide yet?

Only USA and Canada so far. Which country specifically would you like it shipped?

Hi Sunil,
I’m in the UK.
I appreciate your work.

It looks as though it would cost between $60 and $100 dollars to ship a package weighing about 2.5kg (5.5Ibs U.S.) from the U.S. to the UK. I’m interested in a Freedombox 512 AMD, so that would put the cost up to about $480, which is a bit extreme, given I’m planning to buy storage as well.
I wonder whether there are many potential UK purchasers. Would anyone be interested in organising a bulk order? A 25kg package (roughtly 10 freedomboxes without hdds) would cost between $100 and $200 to ship, bringing the unit shipping cost down to $10 - $20. If I could get six people to commit, I’d stand the upfront costs.
So, two questions:
Is anyone in the UK interested?
Does this sound like a recipe for disaster?
