Hello,
Not really a FreeNAS question but I hope it's ok!
I am currently trying to update my BIOS on a X9SCM from 1.0b to 2.2 so I can use an Xeon E3-1220v2.
I have followed these instructions:
https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/BIOS_Upgrade_Instruction_E3-1200_V2.pdf
However when I try boot to the DOS USB drive it takes me to the BIOS? I seem to remember when I installed FreeNAS I had to do it via a CD as it would not boot of the USB, maybe a similar issue here?
I am not sure about how to create a DOS bootable CD with all the BIOS update files so I haven't tried that yet.
Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated.
FYI:
Supermicro X9SCM
Intel i5-2500 3.30GHz with Stock Cooler
10GB ECC RAM
6x WD 2TB RED
1x Noctua NF-S12A PWM
2x Noctua NF-P12 PWM
Corsiar VS350 PSU
Fractal Design Define Mini Series Micro ATX Case
Thanks,
Mark
