                           INSTALLATION NOTES
================================================================================

WARNING:  It is very important to follow these instructions as they are written.
Failure to update using the proper procedure may cause damage to your system.

Update BIOS using bootable USB Flash Drive:

Updating from BIOS revisions R0038 or earlier:
NOTE:  This operation will update both banks of the flash part.  This is necessary
as the Setup options from R0038 and earlier are not compatible with R0039 and later.

NOTE:  BIOS Bank Select jumper needs for be in Normal mode (2-3) during this whole
procedure.

1)  Download release package and extract contents to USB Flash Drive
2)  Verify that the R0101.CAP, BIOS101.BAT and IFLASH32.EXE files are present
    on the USB Flash drive
3)  Verify that BIOS Bank Select Jumper is set to Normal mode (2-3).
4)  Power system on and boot to USB Flash Drive
5)  At the command prompt type "BIOS101".
6)  Flash update should complete within 3 minutes
7)  Shut down the system but leave it connected to AC power
8)  Clear CMOS by moving the Clear CMOS jumper to the clear position and back.
9)  Boot system and enter BIOS Setup by pressing the F2 Key during POST
10) Verify BIOS string
11) Press F9 to load defaults
12) Press F10 to save and reset the system.
13) Power system on and boot to USB Flash Drive
14) At the command prompt type "BIOS101".
15) Flash update should complete within 3 minutes
16) Reboot system and enter BIOS Setup by pressing the F2 Key during POST
17) Verify BIOS string
 

Updating from BIOS revisions R0039 or later:
NOTE:  This operation will only update one bank in the flash part.  This is
recommended in case of a flash update failure that the system can be easily
recovered.

NOTE:  BIOS Bank Select jumper needs for be in Normal mode (2-3) during this
whole procedure.

1) Download release package and extract contents to USB Flash Drive
2) Verify that the R0101.CAP, BIOS101.BAT and IFLASH32.EXE files are present
   on the USB Flash drive
3) Verify that BIOS Bank Select jumper is set to Normal mode (2-3).
4) Power system on and boot to USB Flash Drive
5) At the command prompt type "BIOS101".
6) Flash update should complete within 3 minutes
7) Reboot system and enter BIOS Setup by pressing the F2 Key during POST
8) Verify BIOS string


================================================================================
                        BIOS RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS
================================================================================

BIOS Recovery is not supported. 

Rolling BIOS is supported.

================================================================================
                            KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS
================================================================================

-Video mode is set to 80x25 until BIOS defaults are loaded

-PAE mode and the equivalent Linux mode must be set to see > 2.5GB of memory.

NOTE:  Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 series DO NOT support Hyper-Threading.
       The OS will only show 2 CPU threads per physical processor installed.
       Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5300 series DO NOT support Hyper-Threading.
       The OS will only show 4 CPU threads per physical processor installed.
NOTE:  BIOS Setup shows the number of physical processors installed and not the
       number of processor cores. For example, when 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R)
       Processor 5100 series are installed, BIOS POST and Setup will only show 2 processors. 

-THIS BIOS ONLY SUPPORTS BETA OR LATER HARDWARE.
 DO NOT APPLY THIS BIOS TO ALPHA HARDWARE.

-IF CMOS IS CLEARED, IT MUST BE CLEARED PER THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

-When two Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5100 series processors are installed,
 an NMI error may appear during POST after updating from BIOS R0054 or earlier
 to BIOS releases after R0054.  This is expected and due to a change in the way
 errors are handled in the newer BIOS release. Perform a full DC power cycle
 (front panel power off and power on) to prevent this message from appearing again.

-As of BIOS R0065, may encounter a system reset upon first boot if previous
 NVRAM corruption has been found.

-As of BIOS R0077, Case Sensitivity support has been added to BIOS Admin/User password.
 If a password was installed using previous BIOS release without Case Sensitivity,
 enter old password in all lower case and then re-install password for proper Case Sensitivity.


================================================================================
                              FEATURES ADDED/REMOVED
================================================================================
-As of BIOS R0052, DIMMs with outdated AMB (Advanced Memory Buffer) component
 present are no longer supported. The system will halt with 3 beeps at POST code
 0xEA to indicate an "Unsupported AMB" error.

-As of BIOS R0056, removed support for Pre-production CPU steppings of the
 Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5000 series.
 This includes processors with CPUID 0F61h, 0F62h, 0F63h.

-As of BIOS R0077, removed support for Pre-production CPU steppings of the
 Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 series and Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R)
 Processor 5300 series.
 This includes processors with CPUID 06F4h, 06F5h.

-As of BIOS R0081, removed support for Pre-production CPU steppings of the
 Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 series and Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R)
 Processor 5300 series.
 This includes processors with CPUID 06F9h.

                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================================
- From release BMC23 and on, boot block must be updated to fix BMC checksum issue and new flash
  part support. So, boot block updates via "-b" is added in UPFW.bat file.
  
- Executing the batch files can be done from any media (Hard disk, USB disk-on-
  key, shared network drive or floppy).

  
=============================================================================================
                         INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
=============================================================================================


-----------------------------------------------------
   If a BMC is installed and functional
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Update the BMC firmware using UpFW.bat.

2) Update the SDR & FRUs with the FRU/SDR package.


-----------------------------------------------------
   To recover non-functional BMC (possible if M28W flash part has v00.27 or earlier applied)
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Copy the update files from this release package to the media (Hard Drive,
   USB Disk-on-Key, Floppy...) that you wish to perform the update from. 

2) Update the BMC flash by running UpPFlash.bat. You must then A/C power
   cycle with power off for at least 30 seconds.

3) Update the SDR & FRUs with the FRU/SDR package.

4) Subsequent updates of the BMC FW should use UpFW.bat.

=============================================================================
			SYSTEM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS/REVISIONS
=============================================================================

Server Board S5000PHB and S5000PHB Refresh based platforms.

=============================================================================
		       SYSTEM SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS/REVISIONS
=============================================================================
The FRUSDR Load Utility is a DOS application program used for updating the 
server management subsystem product level Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and 
Sensor Data Repository (SDR).

This utility is used to update the non-volatile storage device associated 
with the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), which holds the SDR & FRU 
area. The utility has the capability to generically handle FRU devices that
may not be associated with the BMC.

1. Executes under the DOS Shell.
2. KCS interface must be enabled.

BMC / BIOS Requirements
	- S5000PHB BMC Firmware version 0.17 or later.
	- S5000 BIOS R0085 or later.


=============================================================================
                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================

The FRUSDR Load utility is meant to be used as a DOS application on a server. 
The utility should be placed onto a bootable DOS media and the system rebooted 
just before and right after using the utility. Running the utility in a Window's
DOS box is not supported and will provide incorrect results. 

=============================================================================
                         INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
=============================================================================

	1. Boot to the ROM-DOS command prompt.

	2. Copy frusdr.exe and any .fru, .sdr, and .cfg files from the latest 
	   firmware release to a hard drive or USB key.

	3a. To run the command-line interface to display information: 

	    frusdr [File Name] [Options]

		Where:

			/? or /h Displays usage information.
			/d {fru | sdr | smb} Displays the requested area: 
				fru = FRU data
				sdr = SDR repository
				smb = SMBIOS information
			/cfg filename.cfg Uses a custom configuration file, with file
			 extension .cfg.
			/p Pause between blocks of data.

		Note: Users may use a '-' instead of the '/' in the command line. 

		Examples:

			1. To display the Intel(R) server board SMBIOS:
			   A:\> FRUSDR /P /D SMB 

			2. To display the Intel(R) server board SDRs:
			   A:\> FRUSDR /P /D SDR 

			3. To display the Intel(R) server board BMC FRU:
			   A:\> FRUSDR /P /D FRU 
			
			4. To display the HSC FRU data:
			   A:\> FRUSDR /P /D FRU IMBDEVICE 00 C0

	3b. To update FRUs and SDRs using default configuration file master.cfg:

		frusdr /cfg master.cfg

	3c. To run the command-line interface to display data using direct
	    addressing: 

	    frusdr /d fru [NVS type] [dev ctlr] [lun] [bus] [addr]

		Where:

			[NVS type] = non-volatile storage type
			[dev ctlr] = device controller (must start with "C")
			[lun] = logical unit number (must start with "L" and can only
				be 0, 1, 2, or 3.
			[bus] = bus the storage area is associated with
			[addr] = slave address 

		Example of a command to display BMC FRU data using direct 
		addressing:

		frusdr /d fru imbdevice C20 L00 FF 20
	 
	3d. To run the command-line interface to display data using indirect 
	    addressing

	    frusdr /d fru [NVS type] [device ID]

		Where:

			[NVS type] = non-volatile storage type
			[device ID] = the device to display

	Example of a command using indirect addressing:

		frusdr /d fru imbdevice 00


	4. Reboot server after updating of the FRUs or SDRs is completed.


=============================================================================
TEMPORARY FILES
=============================================================================

You can create temporary files by using the undocumented "/tmp" switch 
on the command line. When the FRUSDR Load utility is executed,
this switch creates temporary files that are created when the FRUSDR Load
utility is executed. These temporary files can be used to recreate any 
problems that occur during the update. The FRUSDR Load utility does not 
delete the temporary files. If a temporary file is created, the user must 
delete it.

Example:

	frusdr /d sdr /tmp

	where:
		/d sdr	display SDR data
		/tmp	create a temporary file

	The FRUSDR Load utility creates a file called sdr.tmp in the current 
	directory.

=============================================================================
                           KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS
=============================================================================

1. The utility may display error messages when programming the FRU EEPROM 
   the very first time. If FRU load error message occurs, answer "Y" to the
   overwrite existing data question prompt then re-run the update utility.  
   This is due to a blank or corrupt FRU device.

=============================================================================
                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
  All the files listed in the RELEASE PACKAGE CONTENTS section are
  required to update the firmware and perform various other important
  functions. 


=============================================================================
                         INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
=============================================================================
** Note: Please use the provided update batch file and firmware update 
         utility. Updating using your own utility or switches is unsupported, 
         and may leave your HSC in a non-functional state.

Firmware Installation Procedure (Requires HSC firmware already running):

   1) Unzip the release package, and copy the contents onto DOS 
      bootable media (such as a bootable USB memory device).

   2) Boot to DOS, and change directories to the release directory.

   3) Run the provided UPHSC.bat file.

   4) The HSC will receive a boot code update. This could take up to 15
      minutes to upload and verify.

   5) After verification, the firmware requires 60 seconds to finish 
      updating. The front-panel power and reset buttons will be placed in 
      secure mode during this time. Any attempts to access these buttons 
      will result in security violation entries in the system event log.
      Please do not reset or remove power from the system during this time 
      as any interruption could leave the HSC inoperable.

   6) Reboot your system.


=============================================================================
                           KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS
=============================================================================

If an RMM-2 is present in the system, the Sensor and SEL Polling must be
disabled prior to HSC Firmware update then re-enabled (if desired) after
completion.  Failure to do so can cause contention and update failure.

Disabling of polling can be accomplished via the web page, Device Settings->
IPMI page and setting polling intervals to 0 (zero).

This is only necessary when updating via DOS.  The IDA update is unaffected.
