3.3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer: The motherboard supports up to 128 GB of ECC UDIMM DDR5 memory with speeds
of up to 4400 MT/s (with the one or two DIMM(s) per channel population configuration) in
four memory slots (two DIMMs per channel). To enhance memory performance, do not mix
memory modules of different speeds and sizes. Follow all memory installation instructions
given on Section 2-4 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 files are located on our website at
supermicro.com/ResourceApps/BIOS_IPMI_Intel.html. 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 file to your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision
to make sure that it is newer than your BIOS before downloading.
Unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable USB device and then boot into the built-in UEFI Shell
and type "flash.nsh <BIOS filename><BMC Username><BMC Password>" to start the BIOS
update. The flash script will invoke the SUM (EFI) tool automatically to perform the BIOS
update, beginning with uploading the BIOS image to BMC. After uploading the firmware, the
system will reboot to continue the process. The BMC will take over and continue the BIOS
update in the background. The process will take 3-5 minutes.
Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent possible
system boot failure! Read the X13_AMI_BIOS_Upgrade_README file carefully before you
perform the BIOS update.
