3.3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The motherboard supports ECC DDR4 UDIMM modules. To enhance memory

performance, do not mix memory modules of different speeds and sizes. Please follow all

memory installation instructions given in Chapter 2.

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: 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 FLASH.BAT lename.rom from your bootable USB device to

ash the BIOS. Then, your system will automatically 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 used on this motherboard cannot be removed. Send your

motherboard back to our RMA Department at Supermicro for repair. For BIOS Recov-

ery instructions, please refer to the AMI BIOS Recovery Instructions posted at http://
