  • Page 65: Technical Support Procedures

    Before contacting Technical Support, please make sure that you have followed all the steps listed below. Also, Note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro does not sell directly to end users, so it is best to first check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services.
  • Page 66 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., X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L) and build ver- sion as the extension. For example, "X10SLQ.115". When completed, your system will automatically reboot.

  • Page 67: Battery Removal And Installation

    Another solution is to use a USB floppy drive instead of the onboard floppy drive. For the IPMI jumper location, please check Chapter 1. Question: What is the heatsink part number for my X10SLQ/X10SLQ-L mother- board? Answer: For the 1U passive heatsink, ask for SNK-P0046P (back plate is included).

  • Page 68: 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.
