Recovering the Main BIOS Block with a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover the main BIOS image using a USB device without
additional utilities used. A USB flash or media drive can be used for this purpose. However, a
USB hard disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.
Note: The USB flash drive doesn't have to be bootable; however, it has to be formatted to
FAT16/FAT32 file system.
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB device, follow the instructions below.
Use a different machine to download the BIOS package for your motherboard or your system
from the product page available on our website at www.supermicro.com.
1. Extract the BIOS package to a USB device. Copy the BIOS ROM file [BIOSname#.###]
that is included in the BIOS package into the Root "\" directory of the USB device.
2. Rename the BIOS ROM file [BIOSname#.###] in the root directory to SUPER.ROM for
BIOS recovery use.
Note: Before recovering the main BIOS image, confirm that the SUPER.ROM file you
have is the same version or a close version meant for your motherboard.
3. Insert the USB device that contains the SUPER.ROM file into the system before you
power on the system or when the following screen appears.
