Question: How do I update my BIOS?
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. 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, please
unzip the BIOS le onto a bootable USB device. Run the batch le using the format
AMI.bat lename.rom from your bootable USB device to ash the BIOS. Then, your
system will automatically reboot.
