I'm not surprised. Unless you pay for their "enterprisey" datacenter management products (which are still relatively new), it's a PITA to perform BIOS and BMC firmware updates. Additionally, Supermicro specifically recommends that you DO NOT flash the firmware unless you are experiencing issues that a new version is suppose to fix -- unlike pretty much every other vendor (like Dell, who makes it fairly easy to do so).
