Flash Update Utility (OFU)

Intel(R) One boot Flash Update utility can be downloaded from http://www.intel.com/support/
and it is part of the "BIOS, Firmware Update & Configuration Utilities" for 
Windows* and Linux*. Please refer to Intel OFU user guide about the details of 
installation and usage of OFU.

Use OFU to update system firmware by the following steps:
- Install OFU on Windows* or Linux* system
- Download the latest firmware update package from http://www.intel.com/support/
- Unzip package to a folder
- Run the following command in Windows* command line/Linux* terminal window:
  <OFU install folder name>:\flashupdt -u  <package folder name>\flashupdt.cfg
                       
To update from Windows* Preboot Execution Environment (WinPE)

The System Firmware Update Package can be inserted to Windows* PE customized image 
for creating a bootable Windows* PE CD. User is able to update system firmware from 
customized WinPE CD by the following steps:
- Boot server with customized WinPE CD
- Run script "WinPE21_x64_Update.bat" or "WinPE20_x86_Update.bat" 
  (name may be varied depends on your own customization)
  
Note:
1. The Intel(R) OFU utility is case sensitive. Therefore, when you transfer the 
Firmware Update Package using USB key from a Microsoft Windows* system to a Linux
environment, you must first extract under the Linux* environment. Otherwise, you 
will need to mount the USB key manually with 'vfat' option under Linux to avoid 
conversion from upper case to lower case and vice versa.

2. To make Intel(R) OFU utility run properly under x86 or x64 OS, you have to read
OFU releaenotes on known issues for OFU installation.

3. In this SFUP package, Intel only provide batch file "WinPE_x86_Update.bat"
for WinPE2.0 32 bit solution "WinPE_x64_Update.bat" for WinPE2.1/3.0 64 bit 
solution as an example. Please refer to white paper "White Paper-Intel Server 
Utilities Procedure for WinPE.pdf" for details on building your own customized 
WinPE CD.

5. Windows PE 2.1 - built from Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008, EM64T
6. Windows PE 3.1 - built from Windows Server 2008R2, EM64T
7. Microsoft IPMI driver is loaded by default from WinPE CD, if you want to use 
Intel IPMI driver instead of MS IPMI driver for firmware update, you can un-install
Microsoft IPMI driver by:
                Devicesetup.exe ¨Cv remove *IPI0001
                Note: IPI0001 is the device ID for Microsoft IPMI driver.

================================================================================
	            ME update since 02.01.05.107
================================================================================
- Fixed: FW may hang in initialization state after the update of entire ME
         region is interrupted by AC loss. 
         - None of the available ME resets (AC cycle or Global Reset or Power
           Button Override) can get ME out of the error condition, only
           reflashing ME image. 
- Fixed: FW may become unresponsive after switching from Recovery to
         Operational (e.g. during Direct Update).
         - Global Reset or Power Button Override can’t get ME out of the error
           condition. 

================================================================================
                    BMC Changes since release 01.14.3855
================================================================================
- Fixed: For S2600JF and S2600WP:
         1. Add sensor # 2D to monitor address 0x90 on i2c bus 2.
         2. Add sensor # 28 to monitor address 0x94 on i2c bus 2.
         3. Alter sensor monitor code for 240VA Fault.
- Fixed: Re-enable 1600W PSU and update FW to version 0.9.53 for S3F and 00A
         PSU Models
- Fixed: S4600LH: Updated from FRUSDR15 to FRUSDR16 package
- Fixed: Remove Intel branding from virtual front panel background image.
         - Since this image is outside of the scope of Embedded Web Server OEM
           updates, we have removed the Intel branding so that OEMs can rebrand
           everything with only the EWS OEM updates.
- Fixed: S2400EP: RGMII_IBMC_RMM4_TXD_0 and RGMII_IBMC_RMM4_TXD_1 failing
         ringback specification and is non-monotonic
- Fixed: The last 8 bytes of OEM data of SEL record retrieved by IHC are
         different from SELVIEWER or Embedded Web Server SEL.
- Fixed: SMI timeout will not be triggered when low for 2 minutes.
- Fixed: Local Control Panel: Reboot system twice, the boot option still boot
         to NetBoot.
         - Boot option configured by LCP config menu will no longer permanently
           change the selection. It will now be applicable only for the next
           boot.
- Fixed: After BMC or FRUSDR update, power unit redundancy lost asserted and
         deasserted event generated in SEL
- Fixed: Power unit redundancy has been lost -Asserted/Deasserted" events
         occurred after BMC reset via Cold Reset/Enter-Exit Firmware Transfer
         Mode commands.
- Fixed: S1600JP: Execute "Get CR Configuration" command with 450W mini-ERP PS
         gets unexpected response.
         - The 450W mini-ERP power supply used with S1600JP does not support
           Cold Redundancy. The Get/Set CR Configuration commands have been
           changed to return 0x81 for S1600JP.
- Fixed: Remove power supply will trigger a unexpected 03-A/C lost deasserted
         log in SEL.
- Fixed: Status LED is blinking green and 01-redund lost can not be recovered
         after removing any one 460W power supply and insert 750W power supply.
- Fixed: BMC Automatic Update of HSBP FW Unstable and Impacting BIK Factory
- Fixed: MTT sensor scaling is incorrect in all SDR files.
         - Corrected for S4600LH
- Fixed: Random Temp and Voltage events logged in SEL during factory SEL Check
- Fixed: IPMITOOL cannot get chassis ID LED status if we use web console to
         turn chassis ID LED on or off.
- Fixed: IPMItool identify LED with wrong status
- Fixed: IPMI to get chassis ID LED results is not same as "Manually press to
         light on Chassis identify LED"
         - The Chassis Identification fields of the Get Chassis Status response
           were not set properly for all methods of turning on the ID LED. This
           change adds the status to all methods of turning the ID LED On/Off.
- Fixed: IPMI Chassis Control Power Down incorrectly initiates a clean shutdown
         of OS
         - The Chassis Control command to power off the chassis was implemented
           with the Power Button press. This started a Graceful shutdown
           instead of an immediate one. This change causes the Chassis Control
           command for power down to immediately power down.
