Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer:
It is recommended that you
do not
upgrade your BIOS if you are not
experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located
on our web site 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 file to
your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure that it is
newer than your BIOS before downloading. You can choose from the zip file
and the .exe file. If you choose the zip BIOS file, please unzip the BIOS file onto
a bootable device or a USB pen. Run the batch file using the format flash.bat
filename.rom from your bootable device or USB pen to flash the BIOS. Then,
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, bootup 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.
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.
Question:
What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?

Question: How do I utilize the eight-channel sound?

listed on Page 2-6. You must also set the Azalia Audio setting to "Auto" in the
Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS setup.
