instructions for flashing Firmware on H2000JF with 1600W power supplies 

*************************************************************************************
1)	Populate system with a single node in Slot #1 and 2x 1600W Power Supplies.  Ensure that Node Slots #2, 3, and 4 are empty
2)	Boot to Node #1 and run the Update package (S2600JF_EFI_BIOS01080003_ME020107112_BMC0117r4151_FRUSDR110.zip)
a.	Once the BMC update is complete, the Power Supplies will immediately begin to update their firmware.  This requires no user intervention
b.	While a power supply is updating its firmware, the LED will blink at 2Hz.  They will update one at a time
c.	Once an update is complete the power supply LED will be either solid or blinking at 1Hz
d.	The entire update process could take up to 5 minutes for both supplies to complete the update
3)	Once both Power Supply Firmware updates have completed, nodes can be inserted into slots 2, 3, and 4.  DO NOT INSERT ANY ADDITIONAL NODES UNITL THE POWER SUPPLY FIRMWARE UPDATE IS COMPLETE (~5 Minutes)

4)	Boot nodes 2, 3, and 4 and run the update package on each (S2600JF_EFI_BIOS01080003_ME020107112_BMC0117r4151_FRUSDR110.zip)

5)      the system with 1200W power supplies does not need these special steps.
