SuperMicro X11 not booting FreeNAS

[immcpat]

I apologize if I use terminology wrong this is effectively my first build. I finished building my server yesterday, and it will turn on to the BIOS but I can not get it to boot from my flash drive which has FreeNAS 11.1 OS on it. The mother board is a SuperMicro X11 SSH-F-O. I have found this thread saying I needed to update the BIOS / firmware (https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/freenas-11-fresh-install-wont-boot.55847/). My motherboard is currently running version R2.0a and the latest version is R2.0c.

 

I downloaded the updated firmware (zip file) on to the same USB drive as the OS and extracted the files from that zip on to the USD drive. I restarting it several times with no luck of updating the firmware. As the end state I would like to run this server as a PLEX media server and also have the operating system run off of the SSD.

 

The hardware for the build consists of:

Motherboard: SuperMICRO X11SSH-F-O

Power supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 V5 3.4 ghz LGA 1151

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)

HDD: WD Red 3 TB 

SSD: WD Black 256 GB M.2

 

Thank you in advanced.
