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

- BMC_01.00.0921 BMC includes HSBP R05 FW. 
- BMC_01.04.1091 BMC includes HSBP R06 FW.  
- BMC_01.04.1091 BMC includes FWPIAUPD 10.0 Build 6.

=============================================================================
       INSTALLATION PROCEDURE WHEN UPDATING TO/FROM BMC_01.17.5256
=============================================================================

1. Copy the BMC_01.17.5256.bin, fwpiaupd.efi, ipmi.efi, updBMC.nsh files
   to a USB key, hard disk drive or floppy drive.
   All of these files must reside in the same directory.

2. Boot to EFI and then run the updBMC.nsh script file to update the BMC FW.

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

3. Power off the system and cycle AC power

4. Install latest available FRU/SDR package.

===============================================================================
                     FIRMWARE RECOVERY PROCEDURES
===============================================================================
The Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper (called 
BMC Force Update Jumper) to the recovery position.

The jumper is normally in the normal/de-asserted position. The system must be
completely powered off (A/C power removed) before the jumper is moved.

After power is re-applied and the firmware update is complete, the system must
be powered off again and the jumper must be returned to the de-asserted
position before normal operation can begin.

A BMC recovery can be accomplished from a USB flash drive. 

1.  Copy the entire contents of the BMC_0116_Build4673.zip archive file to the
    storage USB flash drive.
    All of the files in the zip archive must reside in the same directory.

2.  Remove A/C power from the system and wait 30 seconds.

3.  Move the BMC Force Update Jumper to the recovery position. 
    Details regarding the jumper ID and location can be obtained from the
    Board EPS for that Platform.

4.  Insert the USB flash drive.

5.  Reapply A/C power to the system and power on the system.

6.  The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress press F6 to
    select boot options. At the boot option menu select to boot to the
    EFI SHELL.

7.  Switch to the directory where you stored the update files 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!

8.  Remove A/C power from the system and wait 30 seconds.

9.  Move the BMC Force Update Jumper to the normal position.

10. Reapply A/C power to the system and power on the system.
