===============================================================================
                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
===============================================================================
The following update process must be followed to ensure a trouble free updating
of your baseboard.  The order is important to minimize any issues for status
checking as different components are initialized.
1. Manageability Engine (ME) firmware  
2. BMC firmware
3. BIOS
4. FRU/SDR package specific to the baseboard
5. NIC EEPROM

===============================================================================
                            INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
===============================================================================

  
1.  Copy all files to the storage medium of your choice. This can be a hard disk, 
    floppy disk or USB flash drive. All of the files must reside in the same 
    directory.

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

    Modification of the update script or using fwpiaupd.efi 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.

===============================================================================
                     FIRMWARE RECOVERY PROCEDURE
===============================================================================
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 all files to a storage USB flash drive. All of the files 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 BMC.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.

NOTE: Performing this recovery procedure resets all network and user settings to 
      defaults. The FRUSDR will also need to be reloaded after a recovery (SDR update).

===============================================================================
                     FIRMWARE UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE PROCEDURES
===============================================================================
Upgrade of BMC FW from version BMC_i_0146r9995 to later versions will be documented
in the release notes for those versions.

Reverting to a lower version of firmware may have unexpected side effects,
including but not limited to user settings reset to defaults, and will always
result in the loss of functionality which was present in the higher version
but was not implemented in the lower version.
We do not guarantee that any downgrade will operate without side-effects.

Always observe caution when downgrading firmware.

===============================================================================
                        KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS/REQUIREMENTS
===============================================================================
- This BMC FW update package is to be used only on PCSD server baseboards and
  does NOT support customer reference boards (CRB) or silicon reference
  platforms (SRP).
  Contact your Intel Representatives to determine where to download the BMC FW
  for these products.

- The BMC FW image file in this package is to be used only with the provided
  FWPIAUPD update utility.
  Using the FW image file with a SPI flash device programmer will result in a
  non-functional system.  

- Some open source ipmi utilities may automatically retry multiple times during  
  access BMC using bad password and supporting IPMI specification 1.5 in Linux OS.
  CCB310 will log more bad password login SEL.
