You can also load this executable directly from BIOS Boot Manager without a UEFI shell bootable media.
1. Copy the file to a USB device
2. Plug in the USB device and press F11 during POST to enter BIOS Boot Manager
3. Navigate to the System Utilities menu and select BIOS Update File Explorer
4. Select the USB device and navigate through the directory contents to find the executable (.efi)
5. Launch the executable and follow the instructions provided by the flash utility.

Installation:

1. Import the Dell public key. (You only need to do this once on your system.)
2.Verify the Dell Update Package by using its signature file, [model]_BIOS_LX_[version].BIN.sign

First, download  X11_BIOS_Racks.bin at

https://training.securewebportal.net/x360/x360Recover/BIOS_Updates_for_ECO_10330/X11_BIOS_Racks.bin 

Then, read and follow these instructions carefully:

On X11 Purley platforms, Supermicro introduced a jumper-free solution that places ME into the manufacturing mode. 

The user doesn't have to open the chassis to change the ME-related jumper on the motherboard any more.

The ME manufacturing mode is required upon updating all software-strap settings in the Flash Descriptor Table (FDT) inside the ME region.

If the user does not use Supermicro's Purley BIOS flash package, the BIOS will instruct the AMI AFU tool to terminate the process with the below message:

"- Error: Please use BIOS flash package from www.supermicro.com for
BIOS update."

The following instructions describe the BIOS upgrade process of the X11 Purley BIOS flash package. Please follow the instructions carefully to prevent the need of any RMA repair or replacement.
================================================
Standard BIOS Update Procedure under UEFI Shell
================================================
1. Save the BIOS update package to your computer.

2. Extract the files from the UEFI folder of the BIOS package to a USB stick.
(Note: The USB stick doesn't have to be bootable, but has to be formatted with the FAT/FAT32 file system.)

3. Plug the USB stick into a USB port, boot to the Build-In UEFI Shell, and type FLASH.nsh BIOSname#.### to start the BIOS update:

Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> cd UEFI
fs0:\UEFI> flash.nsh X11DPU7.218

4. The FLASH.NSH script will compare the Flash Descriptor Table (FDT) code in the new BIOS with the existing one in the motherboard:

a. If a different FDT is found, a new file, STARTUP.NSH, will be created, and the system will go into reboot in 10 seconds if no key is pressed. Press "Y" to go into system reboot right away. At the reboot, hit "F11" key to invoke the boot menu & boot into the build-in UEFI Shell again. The BIOS update will resume, automatically.

b. If the FDT is the same, the BIOS update will be started right away. No reboot will be needed.

5. Do not interrupt the process until the BIOS update is complete.

6. Perform an A/C power cycle after the message indicating the BIOS update has completed.

7. Go to the BIOS configuration, and restore the BIOS settings.

Notes:
* Supermicro no longer supports the BIOS update method in DOS.
* If the BIOS flash fails, you may contact our RMA Dept. to have the BIOS chip reprogrammed. This will require shipping the board to our RMA Dept. for repair. Please submit your RMA request at http://www.supermicro.com/support/rma/.
