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_BMC_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

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