BIOS revisions are not accumulative (or so it was when computers were
computers -in the true sense of the word- back in the old good days...),
that is, every version patches some aspects of the BIOS firmware code and
you need to apply whatever revision you need that corrects your specific
problem. It can be normal that a BIOS revision requires a previous
version to be installed first but you better ask this to Supermicro tech
support so they confirm this point because every manufacturer has
developed its own "tricks".

Yes, contact them and they'll tell you how to proceed.
