Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you not upgrade your BIOS if you are not expe- riencing problems with your system. Updated BIOS ﬁles are located on our web site 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. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your current BIOS before downloading. Select your mainboard model and download the BIOS ﬁle to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update ﬁle and follow the readme.txt to ﬂash the BIOS.

Also, the SPI BIOS chip used in the motherboard cannot be removed. To repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard back to our RAM department.
