BIOS before downloading. You can choose from the zip fi le and the .exe fi le. If
you choose the zip BIOS fi le, please unzip the BIOS fi le onto a bootable device or
a USB pen. Run the batch fi le using the format fl ash.bat fi lename.rom from your
bootable device or USB pen to fl ash the BIOS. Then, your system will automati-
cally reboot. If you choose the .exe fi le, please run the .exe fi le under Windows to
create the BIOS fl ash fl oppy disk. Insert the fl oppy disk into the system you wish
to fl ash the BIOS. Then, bootup the system to the fl oppy disk. The BIOS utility will
automatically fl ash 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.
Warning : Do not shut down or reset the system while updating BIOS to
prevent possible system boot failure!
Note : The onboard SPI BIOS chip is not removable. To repair or replace
the SPI BIOS chip, please return your motherboard to RMA Dept. at
Supermicro for service.

Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will
greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install
the applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset drivers for the
Windows OS, and security and audio drivers.
