What should I do to proceed the upgrade? 1.Decompress BIOS zip file to a DOS bootable USB key. 2.Insert the USB key to the system and boot to DOS. Run Ami.bat x10slq3.509 to update BIOS and ME. 3.In the next boot, once I saw the supermicro logo, I pressed “DEL” key to enter BIOS menu. 4.enable the option “ME FW image re-flash” in “Advanced” -> “PCH-FW Configuration” -> “Firmware Update Configuration”. “save & exit” after the setting is done. 5.Boot to DOS and Run “Ami.bat x10slq3.509” to flash BIOS & ME again. 6.The ME upgrade stopped with a message “a1 – Error : BIOS does not support ME entire firmware update.” Answer A: The correct procedure to update ME & BIOS for shark bay workstation and desktop platform including X10SAT, X10SAE, X10SLV, X10SLQ, C7Z87, C7Z87-OCE should be as following. 1.Decompress BIOS zip file to a DOS bootable USB key. 2.Boot up the system and enter BIOS menu. 3.enable the option “ME FW image re-flash” in “Advanced” -> “PCH-FW Configuration” -> “Firmware Update Configuration”. “save & exit” after the setting is done. 4.Boot to DOS and Run “Ami.bat x10slq3.509” to flash BIOS & ME. 5.After the update finished, shut down the system. 6.Boot up the system to a boot device then the upgrade is done.
