                  System Firmware Update Package Usage instructions                   
================================================================================
This package can be updated using one of the following methods:
 - The embedded EFI shell
 - Intel(R) Deployment Assistant
 - Windows* or Linux* operating system using Intel(R) One-boot Flash Update (OFU)
   v9.70 Build 3.4 or later)
 - Windows* Preboot Execution Environment (WinPE)

To Update from the embedded EFI Shell

update system firmware from Intel server EFI shell by the following steps:
- Download Intel server system firmware update package from support.intel.com
- Unzip package and copy all files to a folder in USB disk on key 
- Insert USB disk on key to server USB port
- Reboot server to EFI shell
- Run command "map -r" in EFI shell to mount USB disk on key
- Run command "fs0:" to change folder to USB disk on key, USB key may also mount to
  fs1:. The number of "fs" is dependent on the result of command "map -r"
- Change folder to the folder storing the firmware package
- Run command "startup.nsh" to start firmware update process

Please refer to "EFI_Instructions.pdf" in this firmware package for a quick guide to 
use the of EFI commands

To Update from Intel(R) Deployment Assistant (IDA)

The Intel(R) Deployment Assistant software is easy to use and is present on the 
"Intel(R) Server Deployment toolkit" CD shipped with the system.
User can download the latest version IDA CD ISO image from support.intel.com
To use the IDA CD to update the system firmware:
- Boot server with IDA CD
- Select "Get System Updates" 
- Choose one of the three options 

  . From support.intel.com
    Automatically downloads the latest Firmware Update Package from Intel 
    It requires Internet connection
    Enter your local IP address and proxy configuration
    Click "Next" to start the download and update process

  . From my network
    Download the latest Firmware Update Package from support.intel.com and copy 
    it to a Windows* shared folder
    Enter your local IP address, the Windows* file server name, and a
    Windows user name and password
    Select the firmware package in pop-up window
    Click "Next" to start the update process

  . From USB Disk on Key or Hard Disk
    Download the latest Firmware Update Package from support.intel.com and copy it 
    to a USB key, then insert the key into the server USB port
    Click "Browse"
    Select the firmware package in pop-up window
    Click "Next" to start the update process
    
  Note: The Firmware Update Package is in the ZIP file format. Do not unzip 
        before copying to a Windows* shared folder or USB disk.

To update from Windows* and Linux* or operating systems using the Intel(R) One Boot
Flash Update Utility (OFU)

Intel(R) One boot Flash Update utility can be downloaded from support.intel.com
and it is part of the "BIOS, Firmware Update & Configuration Utilities" for 
Windows* and Linux*. Please refer to Intel OFU user guide about the details of 
installation and usage of OFU.

Use OFU to update system firmware by the following steps:
- Install OFU on Windows* or Linux* system
- Download the latest firmware update package from support.intel.com
- Unzip package to a folder
- Run the following command in Windows* command line/Linux* terminal window:
  <OFU install folder name>:\flashupdt -u  <package folder name>\flashupdt.cfg
                       
To update from Windows* Preboot Execution Environment (WinPE)

The System Firmware Update Package can be inserted to Windows* PE customized image 
for creating a bootable Windows* PE CD. User is able to update system firmware from 
customized WinPE CD by the following steps:
- Boot server with customized WinPE CD
- Run script "WinPE21_x64_Update.bat" or "WinPE20_x86_Update.bat" 
  (name may be varied depends on your own customization)
  
Note:
1. The Intel(R) OFU utility is case sensitive. Therefore, when you transfer the 
Firmware Update Package using USB key from a Microsoft Windows* system to a Linux
environment, you must first extract under the Linux* environment. Otherwise, you 
will need to mount the USB key manually with ¡°vfat¡± option under Linux to avoid 
conversion from upper case to lower case and vice versa.

2. In this SFUP package, Intel only provides batch file "WinPE20_x86_Update.bat"
for WinPE2.0 32 bit solution and "WinPE21_x64_Update.bat" for WinPE2.1 64 bit solution 
as examples. Please refer to white paper "White Paper-Intel Server Utilities Procedure 
for WinPE.pdf" for details on building your own customized WinPE CD.

3. Windows PE 2.0 - built from Windows Vista SP1 32bit

4. Windows PE 2.1 - built from Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008, EM64T

=============================================================================
                        BIOS RECOVERY INSTRUCTIONS
=============================================================================
Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper (called force 
recovery)

A BIOS recovery can be accomplished from SATA CD and USB Mass Storage device. 
Please note that recovery from USB floppy is not supported on this platform. 

SATA CD image for recovery is created using El-Torito format image (which is 
bootable).

The recovery media must contain the image file: FV_MAIN.FV, under the root directory. 
And also the following files: 
1.	IFLASH32.EFI
2.	*.CAP
3.	Startup.nsh 

Note: 
Please use the Startup.nsh file under the Recovery folder for BIOS recovery. 

The BIOS starts the recovery process by first loading and booting to the recovery 
image file (FV_MAIN.FV) on the root directory of the recovery media (SATA CD or USB 
disk). This process takes place before any video or console is available. Once the 
system boots to this recovery image file (FV_MAIN.FV), it would boot automatically 
into EFI Shell and invoke the Startup.nsh. and the flash update application 
(IFLASH32.EFI). 

IFLASH32.EFI requires the supporting BIOS Capsule image file (*.CAP).  

At last, there would have two short beeps indicating the completion of the recovery. 
User should switch the recovery jumper back to normal operation and restart the system 
by doing power cycle.


The following steps illustrate the recovery process:
1.  Power off the system, insert recovery media.
2.  Switch the recovery jumper,The details of the jumper can be found in the Board TPS. 
3.  Power on the system.
4.  The BIOS POST screen will appear and display the progress, and system would 
    automatically boot to the EFI SHELL.
5.  Startup.NSH file would be automatically invoked. It will initiate the flash update 
    (IFLASH32.EFI)  with new capsule file (*.CAP). The message will be displayed if 
    flash update succeeds. 
6.  Once the flash update is completed, two beeps would be heard. User should Power off 
    the system, and revert the recovery jumper back to normal operation.
7.  Power on the system. 

DON'T INTERRUPT THE POST PROCESS AT THE FIRST BOOT.
