                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
- The following update process must be followed to ensure a trouble free updating
  of your baseboard.
	1.BMC firmware to 00.57 or later
	2.BIOS R0059 or later
	3.Manageability Engine (ME) firmware 01.12 or later
	4.Hot-swap backplane HSC firmware 2.17 specific to the chassis
	5.Latest FRU/SDR package specific to the baseboard.

=============================================================================
              INSTALLATION PROCEDURE WITH BMC 00.40 PREINSTALLED
=============================================================================
1. If BMC 00.40 has not been installed then please install that release first
   prior to installing this 00.58 release. The BMC 00.40 update contains
   a critical boot block update which must be present before installing this 00.58 release.

2. Copy the entire contents of the BMC_0058.zip archive file to the storage 
   medium of your choice. This can be a hard disk, floppy disk or USB
   flash drive.
   All of the files in the zip archive must reside in the same directory.

3. Boot to EFI and then run the updBMC.nsh script file to update the
   Integrated BMC and Intel(R) Remote Management Module 3 firmware.

   Using fwpiaupd.efi with your own command line parameters is not supported
   and doing so is at your own risk!

4. Install latest available FRU/SDR package.

=============================================================================
                 KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS/REQUIREMENTS
=============================================================================
- Users of the KVM feature will need to install the client Java JRE software
  otherwise the KVM redirection application will not launch. 
  The latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) update can be downloaded from here:
  http://www.java.com/en/

IDs

interrupt interval has been reached.  
- Fixed: Set the BMC and RMM3 IP settings at the same time in BIOS menu requires AC
cycle to http to BMC Lan1 or RMM3 Lan3
