3.2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please follow the steps below. Note that as a motherboard
manufacturer, Supermicro sells motherboards through various channels, so it is best to first
check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any
possible problems with the specific system configuration that was sold to you.
1. Please review the "Troubleshooting Procedures" and "Frequently Asked Questions"
(FAQs) sections in this chapter, or see the FAQs on our website before contacting
Technical Support:
2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our website.
Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed depending on the modifications to the boot block
code.

us for technical support:

Motherboard model and PCB revision number
•
BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your system first
boots up)
