Question:
How do I update my BIOS?
Answer:
We do not recommend that you upgrade your BIOS if you are
not experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files
are located on our website at
http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/
.
Please check our BIOS warning message and the information on how
to update your BIOS on our web site. Select your motherboard model
and download the BIOS ROM file to your computer. Also, check the cur

rent BIOS revision to make sure that it is newer than your BIOS before
downloading. You may choose the zip file or the .exe file. If you choose
the zipped BIOS file, please unzip the BIOS file onto a bootable device
or a USB pen/thumb drive. To flash the BIOS, run the batch file named
"ami.bat" with the new BIOS ROM file from your bootable device or USB
pen/thumb drive. Use the following format:
F:\> ami.bat BIOS-ROM-filename.xxx <Enter>
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.,
C7Z370) and build version as the extension. For example,
"C7Z370.115". When completed, your system will automatically
reboot.
If you choose the .exe file, please run the .exe file under Win

tem to the floppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically flash
the BIOS without any prompts. Please note that this process
may take a few minutes to complete. Do not be concerned if
the screen is paused for a few minutes.
