Network interface firmware update failure

My motherboard is Supermicro X11SPW-CTF. There is dual LAN with 10GBase-T with Intel® X722 + X557 on board. I have tried flash original network interfaces firmware version 3.45 to newer 3.50 using nvmupdatew64e utility. And I have power lost during update. Both interfaces doesn't work now. Is it possible to restore workability of the network interfaces? Here is log of my recovery tries:

Hello AKhud3, Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities. Since both Intel® X722 and Intel® X557 are on board, you may try updating the BIOS of the board. Regarding the BIOS update, please contact Supermicro on how to update the BIOS. If you have questions, please let us know. Best regards, Michael L.
