                         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 removable media.

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

   3) Run the provided x625HSC217.nsh file.

   4) The HSC will receive a boot code update. This could take up to 13
      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) Please update your BMC's SDR package to the latest version.

   7) Please reboot your system.
