I contacted SuperMicro support, and I was informed that new BIOS releases are on their way that will support Windows 8 and Server 2012.</p> <p>This morning I received an email from SuperMicro, with a new Beta BIOS for the <a href="http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DAi.cfm">X9DAi motherboard</a> used in the 7047A-T. The new BIOS allowed me to install Windows 8 and Server 2012.</p>
