I am in the process of building a supermicro h11ssl-1 rome processor server. Supermicro has introduced a new method of updating the firmware which to me seems more complicated.
Maybe they are trying discourage users from updating their firmware.
Has anyone successfully updated their firmware and can anyone explain what they did that worked.
I haven’t updated the firmware/BIOS/BMC, but I had to reset it (board was pre-owned and I didn’t have the credentials as the seller didn’t provide them) to default values with a Supermicro shell utility (for Linux). It’s not easy to find on the SM site, but here’s the directory.
If you were to read the release notes that is included with revision firmware 2.4 for my motherboard which has a update category that is declared critical update. as that is the case I will not ignore it??
btw what model motherboard and firmware revision do you have, I suggest you review your firmware revision number to see if you need to update.
I had a look as you suggested and tried downloading the appropriate BIOS update, only to be greeted by the requirement to register to SM advertisement stuff. No dice. As this server is mostly off and not exposed to the web, I think it’s a safe bet to keep the current BIOS as is.
At the moment I can not get my fire pro V5900 video card to work. the onboard vga still works even thou I changed vga priority to offboard and I have disabled the vga jumper jpg1
any ideas
The onboard VGA comes from the BMC chip, EPYC has no APU models I don’t have a GPU, mine is a file server, so I can’t help you here. Maybe tag Wendell @wendell as he may have some ideas for you to look at.
