*********  Standard Update Procedure **************

***********************************************************************************

- Copy all the files to a USB disk-on-key device
- Verify that all jumpers are installed in their default locations.  Switching 
jumpers is not required to properly update the server board, however any jumpers
not set to default may cause unknown behaviors during the update process.

** Booting to the embedded EFI operating environment**
- Plug in your USB device containing the system software updates
- Power on your server
- During POST, hit the F2 key when prompted to access the BIOS Setup Utility
	- Alternatively F6 can be pressed to go directly to the BOOT MANAGER
- In BIOS Setup, move the cursor over to the BOOT MANAGER menu
- Move the cursor down to EFI and hit enter.
- The system will boot to the embedded EFI Shell
- Once the system has booted, and is sitting at a EFI Shell prompt, type 'FS0:' to 
access the USB device. If your USB device is not accessible, type the 'MAP -r' command
to determine which device ID EFI has assigned your USB device, then type in the 
device ID using the same command syntax as before '<device ID>:'.


- Follow the instructions below to perform each software update. Update the system 
software in the sequence specified.  Failure to update in the proper order may result
in the system hanging or restarting on boot.


*** Update BMC Firmware ***

IMPORTANT BMC UPDATE NOTES:

!!!!**********************************************************************!!!!
- If BMC 00.40 is not pre-installed then please install that release first
   prior to installing this 00.51 release. The BMC 00.40 update contains
   a critical boot block update which must be present before installing this
   00.53 release.

1) Confirm that the BMC Force Update Jumper is in the default location (pins 1-2)
2) Boot the system to EFI and navigate update directory
3) Verify that the following files are present:
BMC53.NSH; BMC_0053.ima; FWPIAUPD.EFI; IPMI.EFI;
