Supermicro X12STL-IF - BIOS Recovery with a USB Device

Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery

D.3 Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover the main 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 the recovery block 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 di󰀨erent machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image le into the disc Root "\"
directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.
Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" le in your driver disk, visit our website
at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS package. Extract the BIOS binary im-
age into a USB ash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for the BIOS recovery use.
