Appendix C UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.

Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall

Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages

arising from a BIOS update. If you need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset

the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

C-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

The Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specication provides a software-

based interface between the operating system and the platform rmware in the

pre-boot environment. The UEFI specication supports an architecture-independent

mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is stored

in the add-on card, to boot up the system. UEFI offers a clean, hand-off control to

a computer system at bootup.

C-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (the Main

BIOS Block)

A UEF BIOS ash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block, which consists of two

boot blocks and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The boot block contains

critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user

to ash a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the

system power is on, the boot block codes execute rst. Once it is completed, the

main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and bootup.

Note: Follow the BIOS Recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery

when the main BIOS block crashes. However, when the BIOS Boot block

crashes, you will need to follow the procedures in Appendix A.

C-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USB-

Attached Device

This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device

without additional utilities used. A USB ash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or

a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB

Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.
