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

-None
=============================================================================
		       SYSTEM SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS/REVISIONS
=============================================================================

- MS-DOS v6.22 (or later)
  

- FRU/SDR package:
      FSP_43

- S5000VSA BIOS revision:
      R0096 BIOS

- S5000VSA SEEPROM Image
      v03.01  (Use of any other SEEPROM image is not supported at this time)
  

=============================================================================
                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
- Executing the batch files can be done from any media (Hard disk, USB disk-on-
  key, shared network drive or floppy).

- From BMC48 onwards we have removed EEPROM update files from the package

- Since the release of the BMC50A Package, boot block updates via UPFW.bat file
  has been removed. The Boot block firmware remains the same in all subsequent
  releases even though the version number appeared to change in some release notes.

- From release BMC61, boot block needs to be updated to make Firmware Update
  faster. So, boot block updates via "-b" is added in UPFW.bat file.

- From release BMC65, boot block needs to be updated to fix BMC checksum issue. 
  So, boot block updates via "-b" is added in UPFW.bat file.

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


-----------------------------------------------------
   If a BMC has previously been installed
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Update the BMC firmware using BMC65.bat.

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


-----------------------------------------------------
   If a BMC has not been previously installed
-----------------------------------------------------
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. Files
   include all those listed in the RELEASE PACKAGE CONTENTS section.

2) It is strongly recommended that a backup be created of the SEEPROM image
   currently residing on your Sapello system. The following DOS command
   can be used to create a backup SEEPROM image: "eeupdate /nic=1 /dump"

3) Update the SEEPROM image by running UpEEPROM.bat. You must then A/C
   power cycle with power off for at least 30 seconds.

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

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

6) Subsequent updates of the BMC FW should use BMC65.bat.


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

1) SIO3 Contention is resolved in this Release
   --------------------------------------------
	  This release is for Beta base board (or equivalent) only.  Equivalent HW must contain SIO and GPIO rework.  
	Otherwise system will not function correctly.  True Beta HW must have EEPROM V02.09 
	installed to match A1/C0 ESB2/Gilgal on board.

2) Serial/Modem interface is defeatured for S5000 platform.

3) SDRAM is disabled.
