Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The motherboard supports up to 512GB of RDIMM, UDIMM, and LRDIMM Non-ECC/
ECC DDR4 memory with speeds of up to 2666MHz. To enhance memory performance, do
not mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes. Please follow all memory installation
instructions given on Section 2-3 in Chapter 2.
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 les are located on our website at http://
www.supermicro.com/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html. Please check our BIOS warning
message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our website. Select your
motherboard model and download the BIOS le to your computer. Also, check the current
BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than your BIOS before downloading. You can
choose from the zip le and the .exe le. If you choose the zip BIOS le, unzip the BIOS le
onto a bootable USB device. Run the batch le using the format FLASH.BAT lename.rom
from your bootable USB device to ash the BIOS. Then your system will automatically 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 used on this motherboard cannot be removed. Send your
motherboard back to our RMA Department at Supermicro for repair. For BIOS Recovery
instructions, please refer to the AMI BIOS Recovery Instructions posted at http://www.
