                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
- All the files listed in the RELEASE PACKAGE CONTENTS section are

  S3210SH/S3200SH.

=============================================================================
                         INSTALLATION PROCEDURES  -- 
=============================================================================
** Note: For power-on, no firmware update utility is provided. It is
   assumed that the factory will flash the provided hex image directly
   to the SEEPROM.

Firmware Installation Procedure (Requires HSC firmware already running):

   1) Boot to EFI, and change directories to the release directory.

   2) Run the provided NSH file.

   3) The HSC will receive a boot code update. This could take up to 20
      minutes to upload and verify.

   4) 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.

   5) Please update your BMC's SDR package to the latest version.

   6) Please reboot your system.
