X9SBAA Motherboard Series User's Manual
Notes: 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., X9SBAA) and build version as the extension. For
example, "X9SBAA0.526".
When completed, your system will automatically reboot. If you choose the .exe
file, please run the .exe file under Windows to create the BIOS flash floppy disk.
Insert the floppy disk into the system you wish to flash the BIOS. Then, boot
the system 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.
Warning
: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS
to prevent possible system boot failure!
When the BIOS flashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and will
show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS defaults.
Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to load the default
settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system will then reboot.
Note: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not removable. To
repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard to RMA
at Supermicro for service.
If your BIOS crashes and your motherboard will no longer boot, please read
Appendix C - UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions for instructions.
Question: Why does OS installation fail if the OS does not have USB 3.0
controller support
Answer: The latest version of Windows 8 and Red Hat Linux does support USB
3.0. However, some OS such as Windows 7 does not have USB 3.0 drivers
built into the OS image. Users need to deploy the USB 3.0 drivers into the OS
image manually for successful installation. The other work-around is to plug
in a PCI USB 2.0 card to connect the keyboard mouse and other peripherals
to the USB 2.0 ports first to install the Windows 7, then install the USB 3.0
drivers after OS deployment.
