5-2 BIOS Updates
It may be necessary to update the BIOS used in the blade modules on occasion.
However, it is recommended that you not update BIOS if you are not experiencing
problems with a blade module.
Updated BIOS files are located on our web site ( http://www.supermicro.com/products/
microblade ). Please check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than
your current BIOS before downloading.
There are several methods you may use to upgrade (flash) your BIOS. After
downloading the appropriate BIOS file (in a zip file format), follow one of the methods
described below to flash the new BIOS.
