3-2 Getting Firmware Downloads
Firmware for RAID modes can only be obtained through contacting SuperMicro
Technical Support for instructions and assistance to obtain firmware downloads.
Each of the RAID modes requires a different firmware download. Make sure the
firmware download corresponds to the RAID mode (IT, IR or SR) that you wish to use
before installing it.
3-3 Flashing Firmware
Follow the procedure below to flash firmware to the BIOS.
Flashing Firmware:
1. Before Flashing the Firmware and BIOS, please erase all the flash part first. Boot to
DOS and run the Clear.BAT file by entering the following command at the DOS
prompt:
a:\>Clear.BAT
This clears all the content from the flash memory.
2. Reboot the system before doing the Firmware and BIOS flash.
3. Flash the BIOS using the ***.BAT file with the following command at the DOS
prompt (where *** represents the name of the BAT file used):
a:\>***.BAT
This automatically flashes the BIOS.
4. The BAT file will flash Firmware and BIOS on the screen. Manually enter the SAS
address when prompted.
5. When the flashing is completed, reboot the system.
The new firmware is now flashed to your system’s BIOS.
