D.3 Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device without
additional utilities used. A USB ash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB CD/DVD
ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive cannot be
used for BIOS recovery at this time.
The le system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) which is
installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS might need
several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM le if the media size becomes too large due to
the huge volumes of folders and les stored in the device.
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.
1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image le into the disc Root "\"
directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.
Note 1: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" le in your driver disk, visit our website
at http://www.supermicro.com/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html to download the
BIOS image into a USB ash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for BIOS recovery use.
Note 2: Before recovering the main BIOS image, conrm that the "Super.ROM" bi-
nary image le you download is the same version or an old version intended for your
motherboard.
2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB
drive and power on the system
