3.3 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The motherboard supports up to 128 GB of ECC UDIMM DDR5 memory with speeds
of up to 4400 MT/s (with the one or two DIMM(s) per channel population conguration) in
four memory slots (two DIMMs per channel). To enhance memory performance, do not mix
memory modules of di󰀨erent speeds and sizes. Follow all memory installation instructions
given on Section 2-4 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. 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.
Unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable USB device and then boot into the built-in UEFI Shell
and type "ash.nsh <BIOS lename><BMC Username><BMC Password>" to start the BIOS
update. The ash script will invoke the SUM (EFI) tool automatically to perform the BIOS
update, beginning with uploading the BIOS image to BMC. After uploading the rmware, the
system will reboot to continue the process. The BMC will take over and continue the BIOS
update in the background. The process will take 3-5 minutes.
Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent possible
system boot failure! Read the X13_AMI_BIOS_Upgrade_README le carefully before you
perform the BIOS update.
