                      IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================

  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. Ensure BMC release 0104 or later and BIOS R004 or later are pre-installed
   before attempting this FRU/SDR update.

2. Copy all of the files to a USB key, hard disk drive or floppy drive.
   All of the files in this zip archive must reside in the same directory.
   
3. Boot to EFI and then run the following command to display the 
   contents of the baseboard FRU device:

	FRUSDR /d FRU

   If device is empty, which is the case for all new baseboards, then
   execute the following command to program the empty FRU device:

	FRUSDR /fru TH_MB07.fru
   
4. Now execute the following command at primary node or second node to 
   bring up the main FRU/SDR load menu:

	FTH_13.nsh

5. Select the option which is applicable to what you want to do. On a brand
   new baseboard I would highly recommend to run option 3 to program both
   the FRU and SDR. By reprogramming the FRU you will be given the option
   to input data from the keyboard into various chassis, board and product
   areas. Ensure that you select the correct chassis from the chassis
   selection menu otherwise the chassis specific sensors will not be configured
   properly.

6. Once the package has finished its installation, DC power off the system and then
   cycle AC power.
