C7P67 User's Manual
our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our BIOS
warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web
site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS ROM fi le to your
computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than
your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip fi le or the .exe fi le. If you
choose the zipped BIOS fi le, please unzip the BIOS fi le onto a bootable device or
a USB pen/thumb drive. To fl ash the BIOS, run the batch fi le named "ami.bat" with
the new BIOS ROM fi le from your bootable device or USB pen/thumb drive. Use
the following format:
F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-fi lename.xxx <Enter>
Note: Always use the fi le named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert
a space between "ami.bat" and the fi lename. The BIOS-ROM-fi lename
will bear the motherboard name (i.e., C7P67) and build version as the
extension. For example, "C7P670.115".When completed, your system will
automatically reboot.
If you choose the .exe fi le, please run the .exe fi le under Windows to create
the BIOS fl ash fl oppy disk. Insert the fl oppy disk into the system you wish
to fl ash the BIOS. Then, boot the system to the fl oppy disk. The BIOS util-
ity will automatically fl ash the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that
this process may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if
the screen is paused for a few minutes.
When the BIOS fl ashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and
will show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS
defaults. Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to
load the default settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system
will then 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 installed on this motherboard is not removable.
To repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard
to RMA at Supermicro for service.
Question: I think my BIOS is corrupted. How can I recover my BIOS?
Answer: Please see Appendix C-BIOS Recovery for detailed instructions.
Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will
greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install the
applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for Windows,
security programs, and audio drivers.
