Supermicro X9DAI

Hi all,

 

Building a server for A client with the above motherboard, Server 2012 (r2) and 8.1 will not work on this board apparently because its not supported by the BIOS.

 

I've tried everything I know to try and workaround this. I need to get this system in place A.S.A.P - apparently there's a BETA BIOS that I need. Anyone here got that BIOS ?

 

Have contacted Supermicro and awaiting a reply but need this system in place... So thought I'd ask on here if anyone has got it!?

Think Ive found the BIOS actually....

 

Now to load it onto the board.

Oh dear. Dead Board.

The manufacturers can usually fix this by piggy backing a BIOS onto the board. Time for a warranty call. Surprised that board wouldn't load 2012 - I've put 2012 R2 onto servers that are nearly a decade old. Usually the RAID card drivers that stop progress on some.

I was just going to advise you not to install a beta bios on what I assume will become a production server... but then I read down. Oops.

 

Does it have multi bios? Some have two that you can switch between.

[cpjitservices]

Nope, bear in mind this was advised by Supermicro themselves.

 

Dead board, Getting sent back.

 

Not impressed if Im honest.

I guess you're experiencing one of the negative points of rolling your own servers!

Yeah its going to be a SAP server... OWell new board ordered.. All will be well.
