s2600wt - issue with using CPU2 and updating bios/firmware

Qbits — Wed, 13 May 2026 14:37:45 GMT

I currently have this issue with s2600wt motherboard where, when we install a second CPU the system will not boot up. We have tried to update bios/firmware but this is also not working. In the pass i have updated these motherboard by using the following bios/firmware in this order: R01.01.0029, R01.01.1029, R01.01.3029. But this time when trying to update the first one at R01.01.0029, you will see the screen asking if you want to update or not, but when you select to update it, as soon as you see the first file name that it is going to use, the system just reboots. We got 3 motherboard in a row that it is currently doing this. All of them are brand new and never used before.

Has any one encountered this issue? I tried to find the R01.01.0028 firmware on intels website, but could not find it. It's been a while, but i think one of the motherboard i have managed to use the R01.01.0027, but since i did not have R01.01.0028, i could not go to the next step of R01.01.0029.
