  • Page 64: 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., X10SAE) and build version as the extension. For example, "X10SAE.115". When completed, your system will automatically reboot.

  • Page 65: Battery Removal And Installation

    Question: I think my BIOS is corrupted. How can I recover my BIOS? Answer: Please see Appendix C-BIOS Recovery for detailed instructions. Question: What is the heatsink part number for my X10SAE motherboard? Answer: For the 1U passive heatsink, ask for SNK-P0046P (back plate is included).

  • Page 66: 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/support/rma/).
