SuperServer 1028U-T Series User's Manual
1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 1028U-T Series lies the X10DRU-i+, a dual processor
serverboard based on the Intel PCH C612 chipset. Below are the main features of
the serverboard. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The server supports single or dual Intel E5-2600 v3/v4 Series processors in R3
LGA 2011 sockets (Socket R3). Refer to the Supermicro web site for a complete
listing of supported processors.
Memory
The server features 24 DIMM slots that can support up to 3 TB of ECC Load
Reduction (LRDIMM) or up to 768 GB of ECC Registered (RDIMM) DDR4-
2400/2133/1866/1600/1333 SDRAM. Some models also support NVMe solid state
memory (see the table in Section 1-1).
NVMe
The NVM Express ports provide high-speed, low-latency connections directly from
the CPU to NVMe Solid State drives (SSDs). This greatly increases SSD throughput
and significantly reduces storage device latency by simplifying driver and software
requirements resulting from the direct PCI-E interface between the CPU and the
NVMe SSD drives.
Onboard Serial ATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a ten-port SATA sub-
system. Six of the ports are supported by the Intel PCH and four of the ports are
supported by the Intel SCU. The SATA 3.0 ports are connected to the backplane
by default. RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported by Intel RSTe Software RAID.
Input/Output
The system comes with basic I/O ports for VGA, COM, five USB 3.0, and one
IPMI connection. In addition, there are several possible networking configurations
depending on the pre-installed Ultra riser card. See the table in Section 1-1.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The 1028U-T Series server is built upon one of the following chassis models:
SC119UAC-R751-T, SC119UAC2-R751-T, or SC119UAC10-R1K02-N10T, the latter
two with NVMe support. The following is a general outline of the main features.
System Power
The chassis features a redundant high-efficiency 750 W Platinum-level or 1000 W
Titanium-level digitial power supply, depending on the model. Power is provided by
two hot-plug modules, so one may be removed without powering down the system.
Drives
The default chassis supports ten hot-swap 2.5" SAS3/SATA hard disk drives. In
some server models, using expansion cards, the drive bays can be configured to
support eight SAS3 drives and two additional bays can be configured for NVMe.
The 1028U-TN10RT+ server model supports six NVMe ports plus four NVMe or
SAS3 hybrid ports. (See the table in section 1-1.)
PCI Expansion Slots

The system supports two full-height, full-length PCI-Express expansion cards,
and one low profile card. The pre-installed Ultra riser card offers another internal
low profile card slot. Riser cards and brackets are required. Additional fans are
recommended; see Section 6-7.
Front Control Panel

The chassis front control panel provides system monitoring lights and power control
buttons.
Cooling System
The system has an innovative cooling design that features four to eight sets of
4-cm counter-rotating fans located in the middle section of the chassis. Models
TNRT+, TNR4T+ and TNRTP+ come with five fans; model TN10RT+ comes with
eight fans. Fan speed may be controlled by IPMI to respond to fluctuations in
system temperature.
An air shroud directs air flow to components the need cooling. The power supply
module also includes a cooling fan.
1-4
LAN Options
The server may have two or four LAN ports, depending on which Ultra riser card
is included. Network speeds for each model are listed in Section 1-1. Some
configurations are pictured below.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your system up and running.
This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors
and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a
serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section
noted in each step for details on installing specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier
who delivered it.
2-3 Preparing for Setup

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet.
is required
The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack.
Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.This product is for
installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,
service closets and the like).
• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
2-1
SUPERSERVER 1028U-T Series User's Manual
2-4 Warnings and Precautions
Rack Precautions
• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
• Rack-mounted equipment should not be used as a shelf or work space.
Server Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then
work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
• Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before
touching them.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
2-2
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature
of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient
temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
the equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack
itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply
connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of
power strips, etc.).
Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a

rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom
to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
• Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
2-3
2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
that the assembly procedure differs slightly. You should also refer to the installation
instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the

rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side of the
chassis and one for the left. Each set consists of an inner rail that is fixed directly
to the chassis and an outer rail that attaches to the rack.
The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis
if you decide not to install it into a rack.

Installing the Optional Inner Rail Extensions

Attaching the optional inner rail extensions allows you to pull the server farther out
of the rack. Do not put downward force on the chassis when it is fully extended.
Installing the Inner Rail Extensions
1. Place the inner rail extensions at the side of the chassis. Align the holes of the
inner rail extension with the hooks on the side of the chassis. Make sure the
extension faces outward like the inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis and under the hooks until the
quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the extension to the chassis.
3. If desired, you can install a screw to further secure the extention to the chassis.
4. Repeat for the other inner rail extension.

Figure 2-5. Server Installation and Removal
Note: The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at
the bottom of the rack first.
Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.
2-8
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

Optional brackets are needed to install the server to a telco (open type) rack.
To install the server into a Telco type rack, use the two L-shaped brackets on either
side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend
out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight
between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then
attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets
positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack.
Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

Note: Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Servers should always be installed
into racks starting at the bottom.

3-1
3-2 Control Panel Buttons

The chassis includes two push-buttons.
Power: The main power switch applies or removes power from the power supply
to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but standby power is still supplied to the system.
UID: Depressing the UID (unit identifier) button illuminates an LED on both the front
and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack configurations. The
LED will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button
on the rear of the chassis serves the same function.
3-3 Control Panel LEDs

There are five LEDs that provide status information about the system.
Information LED: Alerts operator of several states, as noted in the table below.

Chapter 3: System Interface
NIC: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing.
HDD: Indicates activity on the hard drive when flashing.
Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system power supply units. This
LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.
Overheating
There are several possible responses if the system overheats.
Overheat Temperature Setting

Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 by
changing a jumper setting. For more information, consult the backplane user manual
at www.supermicro.com. (Click Support, then the Manuals link.)
Responses
If the server overheats:
1. Use the LEDs to determine the nature of the overheating condition.
2. Confirm that the chassis covers are installed properly.
3. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating
normally.
4. Verify that the heatsinks are installed properly.

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup
Chapter 5
Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the
X10DRU-i+ serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on
cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and
quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chassis
completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect and cool
the system sufficiently.
5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage
to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter
4). Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause it to bend if
handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the serverboard from
bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.
The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from
electrostatic discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent electrostatic discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
5-1
5-2 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Notes:
• Always remove the power cord before adding, removing or changing a CPU.
• When receiving a serverboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that

the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent;
otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
• If you buy a CPU separately, use only an Intel-certified, multi-directional heatsink.
• Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package.
• Install the processor into the CPU socket before installing the heatsink.
• Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.

This may damage the CPU or the
socket.
Caution: You can only install the CPU into the socket in one direction. Make sure
that the CPU is properly inserted into the socket before closing the load plate. If it
does not close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open
the load plate again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.

Installing a CPU Heatsink

1. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned
with those on the retention mechanism.
2. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (do
not over-tighten the screws, which may damage the CPU.)
3. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

Removing the Heatsink

Caution: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. If you do need
to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to
the CPU or the CPU socket.
1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
2. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the opposite sequence shown in
the picture above.
3. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle it to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use
excessive force!)
4. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from the CPU.
5. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease before re-installing the
heatsink.

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control
panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables

The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed in preconfigured systems to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling
air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any
of these cables, you should take care to reroute them as they were originally after
reconnecting them and be aware of the pin 1 locations. If you are configuring the
system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.
Connecting Power Cables

The X10DRU-i+ has a 4-pin primary power supply connector designated "JPW1"
for connection to the power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the
power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector
Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for the front control panel connectors. All JF1 wires have
been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their connection. The red
wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the other end of the cable
to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind the system status
LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descriptions
of JF1.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully.
The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from
ESD damage.
6-1
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
6-2 Removing Power from the System

Before performing most setup or maintenance tasks, use the following procedure
to ensure that power has been removed from the system.
1. Use the operating system to power down the system, following the on-screen
prompts.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, carefully grasp the head of the
power cord and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply. If your system
has dual power supplies, remove the cords from both power supplies.
3. Disconnect the cord from the power strip or wall outlet.
6-3 Control Panel

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. A
ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect
the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on the Control
Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both
connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path.
The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System
Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can
be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Installation."

6-5 Installing Drives

Drive bays are accessible from the front of the chassis without removing the chassis
cover or powering down the system. The hard disk drives are mounted in drive
carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers
also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even carriers
without drives installed must remain in the chassis during system operation.
Removing Drive Carriers from the Chassis
1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the drive carrier out of the chassis.

and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro Web site
at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/storage.cfm
6-4
Installing a Drive
1. Remove the dummy drive, which comes pre-installed in the drive carrier, by
removing the screws securing the dummy drive to the carrier. These screws
are not used to mount the actual hard drive.
2. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector
end toward the rear of the carrier. Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw
holes line up. Note that there are holes in the carrier marked “SATA” to aid in
correct installation.
3. Secure the drive to the carrier with four M3 screws as illustrated below. These
screws are included in the chassis accessory box.
4. Insert the drive carrier with the disk drive into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented
so that the hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on
the right side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle
will retract.
5. Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position

6-8 System Cooling

Four to eight 4-cm counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the system. Each fan
unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite
directions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to
dampen vibration levels. At least four compound fans come standard with the server,
and more can be added up to eight. Models TNRT+, TNR4T+ and TNRTP+ come
with five fans; model TN10RT+ comes with eight fans.
Make sure the chassis top cover makes a good seal so the cooling air circulates
properly through the chassis.
Optional Fans
Additional fans are recommended when expansion cards are added. This table
shows the fan positions.

System Fan Replacement

Fan speed is controlled by IPMI depending on the system temperature. If a fan
fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. The system can continue to
run with a failed fan. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the
same model. Failed fans can be identified through the BIOS. The fan numbers are
printed on the floor of the chassis.
Changing a System Fan
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the system is running to determine which
fan has failed. Never run the server for an extended period of time with the
chassis cover open.
2. Unplug the fan cable from the serverboard and remove the failed fan from the
chassis.
3. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4cm fan, available from Supermicro.
4. Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction
as the arrows on the other fans.
5. Reposition the fan housing back over the two mounting posts in the system, then
reconnect the fan wires to the same fan headers on the serverboard.
6. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the
LED on the control panel has turned off. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.

6-9 Power Supply

The server includes two redundant power supply modules. They automatically sense
the input voltage between 100v to 240v, and operate at that voltage. An amber light
on the power supply is illuminated when the power is switched off. An green light
indicates that the power supply is operating.
If either of the power supply modules fail, the other module will support the full
load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail
LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replace
with the same model. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro.
Figure 6-16. Removing the Power Supply
Replacing the Power Supply
1. Unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.
2. Push in the locking tab at the back of the module to release it.

7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X10DRU-i+ serverboard. It
also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS setup utility screens.
The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the <Del> key while the system
is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Del> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen.
There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>, <F4>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for informational text. When an option is selected in
the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often informational text will accompany it.
Note: The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The manufacturer
retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these informational messages.
The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup
navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note 1: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
Note 2: <F3> is used to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save the
settings and exit the setup utility.
How To Change the Configuration Data

The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS setup utility. This setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Delete> at the appropriate time during system boot.

BIOS Error Beep Codes
A.1 BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time
the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the
boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up pro-
cedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer
for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
The table below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes
encountered by users.
BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes

A.2 Additional BIOS POST Codes

The AMI BIOS supplies additional checkpoint codes, which are documented online
at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ ("AMI BIOS POST Codes User's
Guide").
When BIOS performs the Power On Self Test, it writes checkpoint codes to I/O port
0080h. If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be
attached to the computer to read I/O port 0080h (Supermicro p/n AOC-LPC80-20).

UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions
Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall
Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
arising from a BIOS update. If you need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset
the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.
B-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based
interface between the operating system and the platform firmware in the pre-
boot environment. The UEFI specification supports an architecture-independent
mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is
stored in the add-on card, to boot the system. The UEFI offers a clean, hands-off
control to a computer system at bootup.
B-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (-the Main

BIOS Block)
A UEFI BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a
main BIOS image). The boot block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory
detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a new BIOS image if the original
main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is on, the boot block codes
execute first. Once it is completed, the main BIOS code will continue with system
initialization and bootup.
Note: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main
BIOS boot crashes. However, when the BIOS boot block crashes, you will need to
follow the procedures below for BIOS recovery.
B-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USB-

Attached Device
This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device
without additional utilities used. A USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or
a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB
Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.
B-1
The file system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32)
installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS
might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size
becomes too large because it contains too many folders and files.
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions
below.
1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image file into the disc
Root "\" Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.
Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your driver disk, visit our
website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB flash
device and rename it "Super.ROM" for BIOS recovery use.
2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into
your USB drive and power on the system
3. While powering on the system, please keep pressing <Ctrl> and <Home>
simultaneously on your keyboard until the following screen (or a screen similar
to the one below) displays.
Caution: Please stop pressing the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys immediately when you
see the screen (or a similar screen) below; otherwise, it will trigger a system reboot.
Note: On the other hand, if the following screen displays, please load the "Super.
ROM" file to the root folder and connect this folder to the system. (You can do so by
inserting a USB device that contains the new "Super.ROM" image to your machine
for BIOS recovery.)
B-2
Appendix B: System Specifications
4. After locating the new BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS
Recovery menu as shown below.
Note: At this point, you may decide if you want to start with BIOS recovery. If
you decide to proceed with BIOS recovery, follow the procedures below.
5. When the screen as shown above displays, using the arrow key, select the item
"Proceed with flash update" and press the <Enter> key. You will see the progress
of BIOS recovery as shown in the screen below.
Note: Do not interrupt the process of BIOS flashing until it is completed.
B-3
6. After the process of BIOS recovery is completed, press any key to reboot the
system.
7. Using a different system, extract the BIOS package into a bootable USB flash
drive.
8. When a DOS prompt appears, enter FLASH.BAT BIOSname.### at the prompt.
Note: Do not interrupt this process until BIOS flashing is completed.

9. After seeing the message that BIOS update is completed, unplug the AC power
cable from the power supply to clear the CMOS, and then plug the AC power
cable in the power supply again to power on the system.
10. Press <Del> continuously to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
11. Press <F3> to load default settings.
12. After loading default settings, press <F4> to save the settings and exit the BIOS
Setup utility.
