                              ABOUT THIS RELEASE
=============================================================================
This file contains instructions and dependencies for the System Update 
Package (SUP).  

The SUP simplifies the BIOS and firmware update process by providing all of 
the necessary files in one download. BMC update applies to the firmware
present on the Intel Management Module when installed.

=============================================================================
  	                  UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS                            
=============================================================================
To launch the SUP:
	1) Create a CD media from the bootable ISO image or extract ISO contents
         to a bootable USB disk-on-key.
	2) Boot the server board with the bootable media.
	3) Follow the on-screen directions

It's important that the update process be executed in the correct order.  The 
user interface numbers the steps from 1 - 6 and each update should be applied 
accordingly.

=============================================================================
 	                TROUBLESHOOTING & ERROR MESSAGES                 
=============================================================================
Each update utility includes the ability to display error messages if 
something goes wrong during the update process. Be sure to watch for errors 
and DO NOT continue on to the next update utility if the current operation 
generates an error.  Failure to stop and investigate error messages could 
result in the system being left in an inoperable and/or unbootable state.  

If any utility generates an error, note the error message and attempt to 
rerun the same utility again.  If the error persists, that particular utility 
may need to be run with	parameters that are different from the SUP presets.  
Check the release notes for more information on command line options and 
dependencies.
