Question My X9DRI-F motherboard was not able to POST with a Xeon E5-2650 v2, and I was told that I need to update BIOS to revision 3.0 or higher by using a Xeon E5-2600 CPU. Is there another way to update BIOS without using older CPU? Answer Yes, there is way to update your BIOS without buying a E5-2600 CPU by using IPMI Web Browser to update your BIOS.
