Justin I would call SuperMicro, I see their phone number in the manual.


Well, I didn't call, I emailed.  This is what I got in response:

The ECC function is automatically enabled when you plug in an ECC 
memory. Attached is a testing BIOS that will show ECC mode on the Post 
screen.


Wow, they want me to flash the BIOS with a 'testing bios' just so I can 
see it on POST.


Looks like next time I have to reboot the machine, I'll run memtest and 
see what it says.  :-/

I can understand you not wanting to try a new Testing BIOS, but if you 
do decide to try it, make sure you have back-up copy of your old BIOS on 
a Flash Drive. :)
