Is there a HOW-To written up somewhere on this? ;)
I built the hardware from scratch myself, so I can't go off to Dell or
someone for this. So which do I need, motherboard firmware or Intel
microcode? I suppose I need to go to the motherboard manufacturer
(Supermicro) to look for updated firmware? Do I also need to look at
Intel? Is this either-or or a "both" situation? Of course I have no idea
how to reflash new firmware onto this motherboard -- I don't have DOS.
As you can see, planning I can do. Execution is more challenging ;)
Thanks!
