Ensure BMC release 00.42 or later is pre-installed before attempting this FRU/SDR update. 2. Copy all files in the SUP to a USB key 3. Now execute the following command to bring up the main FRU/SDR load menu: Run startup.nsh or Run FRUSDR21 in the EFIScripts folder 4. Select the option which is applicable to what you want to do. On a brand new baseboard I would highly recommend to run option 3 to program both the FRU and SDR. By reprogramming the FRU you will be given the option to input data from the keyboard into various chassis, board and product areas. Ensure that you select the correct chassis from the chassis selection menu otherwise your fan sensors will not be configured properly. 5. Once the FRUSDR update is complete, it is recommended that power off the system and apply a AC cycle. ============================================================================= KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS ============================================================================= - None ============================================================================= FEATURES ADDED ============================================================================= FHC_21: - Update SDR as per fan profiles rev 1.6.
