bios

Currently using the T620 as a low-powered homeserver and was wondering if anyone has figured out how to enable iommu on this? Theoretically the cpu does support it (I think!) but there is no bios option. It might be a bit extreme but if somebody has figured out coreboot then iommu could probably...

I Just bought this X10DRI-T4+ motherboard and though it said it was v4 ready it did not work. I bought some v3 chips and still not getting anywhere. It boots to this PEI screen and stops. No bios option to boot from a freeDOS usb. With the v3 cpus it will boot to a pei screen which does allow...

Hi, (silly me) I upgraded the bios to BIOS_A2SDICH_20220509_1.7_STDsp.zip, after which I no longer can boot. It refuses to boot from my M2 and a USB thumb drive. I have tried to reset the bios to "defaults", no change. It will see the boot menu, but screen goes blank when it is supposed to...

I recently purchased two HP ProDesk 600 G6's with i5-10500T's and "vPro" stickers on them from two different sellers on eBay. After updating the BIOS and unprovisioning Intel Management Engine (ME), and then setting a password in MEBx, it seems the two machines are different: one has options for...

Hi, I Just have received my new Supermicro H12SSL-i MB to build my home server. Unfortunately seems that my system is broken as I am not able to start the machine. After I turn on the power supply the LE1 LED blinks quickly until the LEDM1 (BMC) starts to blinks quickly and then if off. The BMC...

I have a GIGABYTE MZ31-AR0 rev 1.1 and I figure the only diffrence between the revisions of the board is the size of the SOP8 flash for the bigger BIOS. I bought some MX25L25645 flash chips to replace the original one and just... flash the revision 2 or 3 BIOS onto it to make Rome or even Milan...

I'm looking to update the BIOS and IPMI on my H12SSL-NT via the IPMI web interface but am unclear on a few details: 1) Should I update IPMI (BMC) first or BIOS first? 2) When updating IPMI, what are the current recommendations on the "Preserve Configuration", "Preserve SDR" and "Preserve SSL...

Except for the VGA, I think the mb works. I have cleared the BIOS, tried different CPUs, different memory, different vga monitors and cables. The MB boots and the fans scream. I get one beep and then in about 60 seconds the fans slow down. I checked the VGA jumper (JPG1) and no matter which...

Hi everyone, I've seen a few BIOS modifications floating around for the X9 boards (NVMe boot) and wondered if anyone has attempted updating the TPM support in the X9 BIOS to support TPM2.0. According to Supermicro you need X10 or later to use the newer TPM chip, and plugging the newer model in...

Hi everyone, looks like i just bricked my Thinkserver RD650 while trying to update BIOS. I´v tried to do recovery as per user manual, but it doesnt seem to work. If i remove power, move the jumper from default to BIOS recovery. After i reconnect power it should automatically power on after a...

Hey all - I recently wrote up a blog post after buying another Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ only to find out that the eBay seller had not checked for a BIOS password. After experimenting with all of the suggestions on STH and other blogs I was unable to get it to clear. I tried CMOS battery...

Most MBs have a way of shutting off the boot from nic option in the bios. I haven't been able to find that option with some new asrock rack MBs. I went through most of the bios and still could not find a way to turn it off. It cycle through all of the pci nics with the flex boot configuration...

The Backstory I've been given a used server from work. This is fine, I've 'disposed' of servers, via the proper process, in this manner many times for my home lab. This one looked nice on paper. Dual Opteron 6380 16 core with 128Gb memory. Nice! The problem arose when I went to boot my USB...

First post here, so here it goes. I'm building my first home server this week, mostly for Plex. I've built many PCs but never a server grade machine. So, my options for W10 OS install is my 64GB Satadom or Toshiba 1TB m.2 NVMe. Is there an easier one to load onto via Rufus (USB)? Do I need...
