                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
===============================================================================
The following update process must be followed to ensure a trouble free updating
of your baseboard.
1.  BIOS
2.  Manageability Engine (ME) firmware
3.  BMC firmware
4.  FRU/SDR package specific to the baseboard.
5.  NIC EEPROM

===============================================================================
                            INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
===============================================================================
1.  Copy the entire contents of the BMC_i_0100r2812.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.

2.  Boot to EFI and then run the fwUpdateBMC.nsh script file to update the
    Integrated BMC.

    Modification of the update script with your own command line parameters is
    not supported and doing so is at your own risk!

3.  Install latest available FRU/SDR package specific to the platform.
