  • Page 68: Frequently Asked Questions

    Note: Always use the file named “ami.bat” to update the BIOS, and insert a space between "ami.bat" and the filename. The BIOS-ROM-filename will bear the motherboard name (i.e., X10SLM+-F) and build version as the extension. For example, "X10SLM+-F.115". When completed, your system will automatically reboot.

  • Page 69: Battery Removal And Installation

    Important: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not re- movable. 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.

  • Page 70: Returning Merchandise For Service

    You can obtain service by calling your vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. For faster service, you may also obtain RMA authorizations online (http://www.supermicro. com/RmaForm/). When you return the motherboard to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried.
