9.Miscellaneous Board Information

9.1Updating the System Software

To ensure your Server Board SE7520JR2 has the latest board fixes, it is highly recommended to load the latest system software. These include System BIOS, mBMC firmware, and FRUSDR Utility. It may also include Intel Management Module (IMM) BMC Firmware (if installed) and Hot Swap Controller (HSC) firmware if the baseboard is installed into an Intel server chassis with a backplane. The latest system software for the Server Board SE7520JR2 can be downloaded from the following Intel web site:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/se7520jr2/

You can use the Server Menu in the <F2> BIOS Utility to verify what versions of system software are installed on your server. If you determine that an update is necessary, the system software should be updated in the following order:

•HSC firmware (If Applicable)

•mBMC Firmware

•IMM BMC Firmware (If Applicable)

•FRUSDR Utility

•System BIOS

It is highly recommended to read the README.TXT file that accompanies each update package for complete install instructions and release notes before attempting to update the system software onto your server board.

9.2Programming FRU and SDR Data

Regardless of which platform management option is being used, On-board Platform Instrumentation or Intel Management Module, the baseboard must have the proper Sensor Data Records (SDR) and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) data programmed to the board.

The FRUSDR Update Utility is an application used to program the platform management subsystem to monitor the proper platform sensors. This application is provided on the Intel Server Deployment Toolkit CDROM that comes with the baseboard or can be downloaded from the following Intel Website:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/se7520jr2/

The FRUSDR Update Utility should be run prior to loading any OS or Server Management Software. The FRUSDR Update Utility determines which chassis the baseboard is integrated into, which FRUs are present, and programs the Platform Management Sub-system to monitor the proper platform sensors accordingly. The FRUSDR Update Utility must be run when the board is first integrated into a platform and must be run when the system configuration is changed as follows:
