Appendix A: POST Error Beep Codes

Appendix A

POST Error Beep Codes

This section lists POST (Power On Self Test) error beep codes for the AMI BIOS.

POST error beep codes are divided into two categories: recoverable and terminal.

This section lists Beep Codes for recoverable POST errors.

Recoverable POST Error Beep Codes

When a recoverable type of error occurs during POST, BIOS will display a POST code that describes the problem. BIOS may also issue one of the following beep codes:

1 beep - circuits have been reset (ready to power up).

5 short beeps + 1 long beep - No memory detected in the system

1 continuous beep with the front panel Overheat LED on - system overheat

5 short beeps - system display error

B-2 Configuring Supero Doctor III

The Supero Doctor III program is a Web-base management tool that supports remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.

The local management is called the SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.

Note 1

: Both default user name and password are ADMIN.

Note 2

: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take precedence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, Supero

Doctor III adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the

BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within

Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.

Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery

Appendix C

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.

C-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification provides a softwarebased 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 up the system. UEFI offers a clean, hand-off control to a computer system at bootup.

C-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (-the Main

BIOS Block)

An AMIBIOS flash chip consists of a boot sector block and a main BIOS code block

(a main BIOS image). The boot sector block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a new BIOS image if the original BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is on, the boot sector 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 block crashes. However, when the BIOS Boot sec tor crashes, you will need to send the motherboard back to Supermicro for RMA repair.

C-3 To Recover the Boot Sector 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.

C-1

X10SLV/-Q Motherboard User’s Manual

To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instruc tions 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 to "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, keep pressing <Ctrl> and <Home> simultane ously on your PS2 keyboard until your hear two short beeps. This may take from a few seconds to one minute.

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.

C-2

Appendix C: UEFI BIOS Recovery

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 com pleted.

6. After the process of BIOS Recovery is complete, press any key to reboot the system.

7. Using a different system, extract the BIOS package into a bootable USB flash drive.

C-3

X10SLV/-Q Motherboard User’s Manual

8. When a DOS prompt appears, enter AMI.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 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.
