Intel SE7500WV2 What You Need to Do, How You Use the FRU/SDR Load Utility, Command Line Format

What You Need to Do

Either run the utility directly from the Resource CD or from diskettes created from the CD.

If you run the FRU/SDR Load Utility from a diskette, copy the utility from the CD. Follow the instructions in the included README.TXT file.

If the diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, use BIOS Setup to enable it. If necessary, disable the drive after you are done with the FRU/SDR Load Utility.

How You Use the FRU/SDR Load Utility

The utility:

•Is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS Ver. 6.22 (and later versions), Windows 95 DOS, and Windows 98 DOS

•Accepts CFG, SDR, and FRU load files (the executable file for the utility is FRU/SDR.exe)

•Requires the following supporting files:

One or more .fru files describing the system’s field replaceable units

A .cfg file describing the system configuration

An .sdr file describing the sensors in the system

Command Line Format

If you are not performing an automated update using a Software Update Package (SUP), the basic command line format is:

FRU/SDR [-?] [-h] [-d {fru, sdr}] [-cfg filename.cfg] [-fru filename.fru]

Description

Displays usage information.

Displays requested area only.

Uses custom CFG file.

Pause between blocks of data.

Parsing the Command Line

The FRU/SDR load utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line function can consist of two parameters. Example: -cfg filename.cfg. Invalid parameters cause an error message and exit the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to specify command line options. Use the -p and flags with any of the other options.

Displaying a Given Area

When the utility is run with the -d FRU or -d SDR command line flag, information about each area is read from memory and printed on the screen. Each area represents one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If the given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the utility displays an error message and exits.
