When to Run the FRUSDR Load Utility

You should run the FRUSDR load utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your server, excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM.

Because the utility must be reloaded to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the server off and remove the AC power cords from the server. Wait approximately 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cords and turn on the server.

What You Need to Do

You can run the utility directly from the configuration software CD-ROM or from diskettes you create from the CD-ROM.

If you choose to run the FRUSDR Load Utility from a diskette, you must copy the utility from the CD-ROM and follow the instructions in the included README.TXT file.

If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use BIOS Setup to enable it. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you have finished using the FRUSDR utility.
