                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
- Do not use the TH_0114.ima file in a flash device programmer as this will
  overwrite the product ID and FAB revision information in the BMC flash and
  the firmware will not support any platform or board revision specific behavior.

- Having the BMC in force update mode using the jumper prior to updating the 
  firmware is no longer required. Please follow new procedure below to install
  BMC 01.14.

- BMC 01.14 and later swapped the baseboard default NIC port numbering.
  References below are when viewing from the rear of the baseboard.
  This changes also requires the NIC EEPROM to be updated. 
  

=============================================================================
       INSTALLATION PROCEDURE WHEN UPDATING FROM BMC 01.06
=============================================================================

1. Copy the TH_0114.ima, fwpiaupd.efi, ipmi.efi, upd_BMC.nsh files, upd_RMM3.nsh
   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. Run the upd_RMM3.nsh script file to update the RMM3 flash.

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

4. Power off the system and cycle AC power


5. Install latest available FRU/SDR package.
