Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not

experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on

our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS

warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web

site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM file to your

computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than

your BIOS before downloading. Please unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable device

or a USB pen/thumb drive. To flash the BIOS, run the batch file named "ami.bat"

with the new BIOS ROM file from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive.

Use the following format:

F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-filename.xxx <Enter>

Note: Always use the file named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert

a space between "ami.bat" and the filename. The BIOS-ROM-filename

will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X9SCi) and build version as the

extension. For example, "X9SCA1.218".When completed, your system

will automatically reboot.

When the BIOS flashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and

will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS

defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to

load the default settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system

will then reboot.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS

to prevent possible system boot failure!

Note: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not removable.

To repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard

to RMA at Supermicro for service.

Question: I think my BIOS is corrupted. How can I recover my BIOS?

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
