FRU/SDR Load Utility

The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load Utility is a DOS-based program used to update the server management subsystem’s product level FRU, SDR, and the SM BIOS (SMB) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs). The load utility:

•Discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file

•Displays the FRU information

•Updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area

•Updates the SMB area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device

•Generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC
