                           INSTALLATION NOTES
================================================================================
This package can be updated using one of the following methods:
 - 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 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.

================================================================================
                        BIOS RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS
================================================================================

The Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper. (called 
BIOS Recovery Boot Jumper)
 
A BIOS recovery can be accomplished from the backup BIOS region or USB Mass Storage device. 
Please note that recovery from USB floppy is not supported on this platform. 
 
The recovery media must contain the following files under the root directory:
   1.  UEFI iFlash32 (including IFlash32.efi and ipmi.efi )
   2.  *Rec.CAP
   3.  Startup.nsh (update accordingly to use proper *Rec.CAP file)
 
BIOS starts the recovery process by first loading and booting to the recovery image from the 
backup BIOS region.

This process takes place before any video or console is available. Once the system boots 
to recovery image, it will boot automatically into EFI Shell to invoke the Startup.nsh 
script and start the flash update application (IFlash32.efi). IFlash32.efi requires the 
supporting BIOS Capsule image file (*Rec.CAP). After the update is complete, there will 
be a message displayed stating that the "BIOS has been updated successfully" indicating 
the recovery process is finished. The User should then switch the recovery jumper back to
normal operation and restart the system by performing a power cycle.
 
The following steps demonstrate this recovery process:
   1.  Power OFF the system.
   2.  Insert recovery media.(Optional if the backup BIOS region works)
   3.  Switch the recovery jumper. Details regarding the jumper ID and location
       can be obtained from the Product Board TPS.
   4.  Power ON the system.
   5.  The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress and system automatically 
       boots to the EFI SHELL.
   6.  Startup.nsh file executes, and initiates the flash update (IFlash32.efi)
       with new capsule file (*Rec.CAP). The regular IFlash message will be displayed at
       the end of the process, once the flash update succeeds.
   7.  Power OFF the system, and revert the recovery jumper position to "normal".
   8.  Power ON the system. 
   9.  Do *NOT* interrupt the BIOS POST during the first boot.

================================================================================
                            KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS
================================================================================
- If you want to install Linux* SUSE* 11 SP2 or boot to a pre-installed Linux* SUSE* 11 SP2 OS, 
- R02.01.0002 and later version need use command "iflash32 -u RB_R02.0x.xxxxRec.cap UpdateBackupBios -ni" 
  to upgrade from R01.04.0002 and early version. Similarly, R01.04.0002 and early version need use command 
  "iflash32 -u RB_R01.0x.xxxxRec.cap UpdateBackupBios -ni" to downgrade from R02.01.0002 and later version.
- As security requirement, R03.01.0001 reversion doesn't support capsule downgrade in normal mode.
- R03.01.0002 is the first BIOS that adds support for Intel(R) Xeon processor E3-1200 V4 series. If you
  are upgrading from R02.02.0004 or earlier BIOS versions,  you will need to use a Intel(R) Xeon processor E3-1200 V3 
  series processor first to boot to EFI shell and use capsule files to update BIOS to R03.01.0002.
  After flashing with the Intel(R) Xeon processor E3-1200 V3 series processor, you can install
  the Intel(R) Xeon processor E3-1200 V4 series processor and boot.  
  Because of BMC late response, probably BMC LAN IP address can't show correctly in setup. W/A is to do warm reset or DC reset.

- Fixed: SPS FW does not make the override for the capability register using BDW ES parts and
		this results to have ECC, Trifurcation and Dual Dimm per channel OFF.

================================================================================
			ME Changes in 03.00.07.012 
================================================================================
- Fixed: Steps to reproduce: 0. Burn new image NMon (SKU NM) AlwaysOn 1. Boot to OS 2.
		Execute power flows in random way Expected results: Platform should properly
		execute power flow. Actual results: After 59 iteration ME send E3 00 command
		
================================================================================
			  ME Changes in 03.00.05.128
================================================================================

         LM25066i chip is used.
- Fixed: After ME reset (Cold Reset command, or any host reset in S0/S1 Only power
         mode except host warm reset) ME returns incorrect version and CRC of mPhy
         settings (0). This causes the BIOS to perform (unnecessary) mPhy settings 
         update in ME, which gets rejected with 0x101E error code while it should
         be accepted.
- Fixed: Sporadically on some platforms ME may be reset during host booting due
         to internal exception.
- Fixed: ¡°Read mPhy settings¡± HECI message returns ICC_STATUS_FAILURE (0x0001)
         in ¡°ICC Status¡± field.
- Fixed: PCH register SECRT98 (SATA Electrical Control Register T98) has improper
         value due to incorrect mPhy settings value in ME. As a workaround the BIOS 
         may force update of these settings during boot.

         from AC, ME resets due to exception, causing SPS FW Health sensor 0x17 event
         to be stored in the BMC SEL.
- Fixed: When Factory Defaults are restored using IPMI command, there is incorrect
         SPS FW Health sensor 0x17 event sent to the BMC SEL.
- Fixed: Sometimes Dynamic Core Allocation temporarily parks cores in unexpected
- Fixed: Sometimes aggressive power policy in Domain Total is not able to limit 
         power in specified correction time.
