================================================================================
                  System Firmware Update Package Usage instructions                   
================================================================================
This package can be updated using one of the following methods:
 - Windows* or Linux* operating system using Intel(R) One-boot Flash Update (OFU)
   V14.0 Build 14
 - 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(R) 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.
8. If to update backup BIOS region or NVRAM, you need to customize the OFU update 
       scripts (eg.flashupdt.cfg) and add "UpdateBackupBios" or "UpdateNvram" parameter.

                         INSTALLATION NOTES
================================================================================

WARNING:  It is very important to follow these instructions as they are written.
Failure to update using the proper procedure may cause damage to your system.

User can update BIOS flash image via either of the follow methods...
A. UEFI iFlash32 
   1.  Boot the system to EFI Shell
   2.  Copy IFlash32.efi and BIOS .CAP file to a HD or USB Flash Drive
   3.  Map the respective storage device in system with the command
	   Shell> map -r
   4.  Change the Shell to mapped device file system
	   Example: Shell> fs0: (or fs1:)
   5.  Run the IFlash32 utility on the prompt
	   fs0:\> IFlash32 [File Name] /u /ni
   6.  Reboot system after the update is completed.

B. Use flash programmer to burn the new BIOS ROM image (16MB) into the flash chip.

c. Backup BIOS update instructions
   1.  Boot the system to EFI Shell

================================================================================
                        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 backup BIOS region. 
 
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 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.  Switch the recovery jumper. Details regarding the jumper ID and location
       can be obtained from the Board EPS for that Platform.
   3.  Power ON the system.
   4.  The BIOS POST screen will appear displaying the progress and system automatically 
       boots to the EFI SHELL.
   5.  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.
   6.  Power OFF the system, and revert the recovery jumper position to "normal operation".
   7.  Power ON the system. 
   8.  Do *NOT* interrupt the BIOS POST during the first boot.

 ================================================================================
							   BIOS 03.01.R0014
================================================================================
	1. Re-sign BIOS package with production key.

================================================================================
                               ME 04.01.03.021
================================================================================
Please follow the below procedure to update ME using UEFI iFlash32 14.0 Build 11
   1.  Boot the system to EFI Shell
   2.  Download ME release package
   3.  Unzip the ME release package to HD or USB Flash Drive
   3.  Map the respective storage device in system with the command
           Shell> map -r
   4.  Change the Shell to mapped device file system
           Example: Shell> fs0: (or fs1:)
   5.  Run the IFlash32 utility on the prompt.
       Use ME_xx_xx_xx_xxx.cap file when ME operational Image update is required.
       Use MEComplete_xx_xx_xx_xxx.cap file when Only whole ME Image update is required.
           fs0:\> IFlash32 [File Name] /u /ni
   6.  Reboot system after the update is completed.
