Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of

Caution: 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 have to update the
BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating. This is
to avoid possible boot failure.
