                     SC5650UP ULA Configuration
==============================================================================

There is one option to update FRUSDR as "SC5650UP ULA Configuration". It is a FRU
configuration on SC5650UP to get ultra low acoustic(ULA) performance. The
configuration is listed below:
   - Chassis: SC5650UP
   - Power supply unit: Revision E62683-003 or later which is integrated in SC5650UP
   - Motherboard: Intel(R) Server board S3420GPLX, S3420GPLC
   - CPU: Any of Intel(R) Xeon(R) X3400 series
   - Memory: 1G RDIMM per channel, total of up to 2G DIMM sizes 
   - HDD: Up to 2 SATA HDDs only
   - Additional card: No add-in cards are supported in this configuration
   - BIOS: Rev.22 or later
   - FW: Rev1.12 or later
   - FRUSDR: Rev.12 or later
 
The Hotswap Backplane fan should not be installed in any of the fan headers on the board.
Only the rear fan & the CPU fan should be installed.
 
If not following the above configuration, the system can not guarantee the low 
acoustic performance.

=============================================================================
                      IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
 
  - Please be aware of what your chassis hardware currently has support .
  - There are two update mode for user select, Factory mode and User mode;
    Factory mode can select FCT SDR for MFG test or select ship SDR for 
    shipping to customer. User mode can select specific Chassis for end user.

=============================================================================
			INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
=============================================================================

  1. Copy the BMC_0119.ima, fwpiaupd.efi, ipmi.efi, upd_BMC.nsh files
     to a USB key, hard disk drive or floppy drive.
     All of these files must reside in the same directory.

  2. Boot to EFI and then run the upd_BMC.nsh script file to update the BMC FW.

     Using fwpiaupd.efi with your own command line parameters is not supported
     and doing so is at your own risk!

     *** If you have an Intel Remote Management Module 3 plugged into the baseboard ***
     *** then proceed to the next step otherwise go to step #4 and proceed ***

  3. Power off the system and cycle AC power


  4. Install latest available FRU/SDR package.
