                  System Firmware Update Package Usage instructions                   
================================================================================
This package can be updated using one of the following methods:
 - The embedded UEFI shell
 - Intel(R) Deployment Assistant
 - Windows* or Linux* operating system using Intel(R) One-boot Flash Update (OFU)
   V11.0 Build 14 or later)
 - Windows* Preboot Execution Environment (WinPE)

To update from the embedded EFI Shell

Update system firmware from Intel server EFI shell by the following steps:
- Download Intel server system firmware update package from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
- Unzip package and copy all files to root folder in USB flash drive 
- Insert USB flash drive to server USB port
- Reboot server, system will start BIOS/BMC/FRUSDR update automatically

  If the unzipped package is not under the root folder of USB flash drive:
- Reboot server to EFI shell manually
- Run command "map -r" in EFI shell to find the mount point of the USB flash drive
- The USB flash drive may mount to fs0: or fs1: or other. 
- Run command "fs0:" or other to change folder to USB flash drive, 
- Change folder to the folder storing the firmware package
- Run command "startup.nsh" to start firmware update process

Please refer to "EFI_Instructions.pdf" in this firmware package for a quick guide to 
use the EFI commands

To Update from Intel(R) Deployment Assistant (IDA)

The Intel(R) Deployment Assistant software is easy to use and is present on the 
"Intel(R) Server Deployment & Management" DVD shipped with the system.
User can download the latest version IDA CD ISO image from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
To use the IDA CD to update the system firmware:
- Boot server with IDA CD
- Select "Get System Updates" 
- Choose one of the three options 

  . From http://www.intel.com/support/
    Automatically downloads the latest Firmware Update Package from Intel 
    Requires Internet connection
    Enter your local IP address and proxy configuration
    Click "Next" to start the download and update process

  . From my network
    Download the latest Firmware Update Package from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ and copy 
    it to a Windows* shared folder
    Enter your local IP address, the Windows* file server name, and a
    Windows user name and password
    Select the firmware package in pop-up window
    Click "Next" to start the update process

  . From USB flash drive or Hard Disk
    Download the latest Firmware Update Package from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ and copy it 
    to a USB flash drive, then insert the USB flash drive into the server USB port
    Click "Browse"
    Select the firmware package in pop-up window
    Click "Next" to start the update process
    
  Note: The Firmware Update Package is in the ZIP file format. Do not unzip 
        before copying to a Windows* shared folder or USB flash drive.

To update from Windows* and Linux* or operating systems using the Intel(R) One Boot
Flash Update Utility (OFU)

Intel(R) One boot Flash Update utility can be downloaded from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
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://downloadcenter.intel.com/
- 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 flash drive 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 flash drive 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 release notes 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.

4. Windows PE 2.0 - built from Windows Vista SP1 32bit or EM64T
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.
