site. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than
your BIOS before downloading. Select your motherboard model and down-
load the BIOS file to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update file and you will
find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the phlash.bat (BIOS flash utility),
the platform.bin (platform file) and the BIOS image (xxxxxx.rom) files. Copy
these files onto a bootable floppy and reboot your system. It is not neces-
sary to set BIOS boot block protection jumpers on the motherboard. At the
DOS prompt, enter the command "phlash." This will start the flash utility and
give you an opportunity to save your current BIOS image. Flash the boot
block and enter the name of the update BIOS image file.
Question:
After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video.
How can I correct this?
Answer:
If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS,
it indicates that the flashing procedure failed. To remedy this, first clear
CMOS per the instructions in this manual and retry the BIOS flashing proce-
dure. If you still do not have video, please use the following
BIOS Recov-
ery Procedure
. Boot up the system from a Win98 boot disk. Type
A:\>phlash /s /cz /mfg /mode=3 [BIOS filename.rom], making sure you insert
the spaces. The system will flash BIOS from here and reboot once it
finishes.
To recover BIOS: a recovery flash requires an update key over the COM
port as follows: hardwire Pin4 to Pin8, hardwire Pin9 and Pin7 to Pin6, and
hardwire Pin3 to Pin2. Use the Supermicro CD to make a “Phoenix BIOS
Crisis Disk for Supermicro Mainboard”. This disk includes a BIOS file named
“bios.rom”. Please note, this BIOS file can be changed to a different Phoenix
BIOS file as long as it’s named “bios.rom”. Connect the serial key to the
COM port, insert the recovery disk into floppy drive and power on the
system. When the system starts to read the disk, remove the serial key
immediately. When the system is done with the BIOS recovery, it will auto-
matically reboot.
Question:
What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
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 Windows and security and audio drivers.
