                              ABOUT THIS RELEASE
=============================================================================

SDR file version:			0.15
Baseboard FRU file version:		0.05
Master configuration file version:	2.1
FRUSDR loader version:			2.0.1 Build 14

SDR data based on system/thermal team SDR spreadsheet rev 2.2

=============================================================================
	     SYSTEM HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS/REVISIONS
=============================================================================

- This FRU/SDR package only supports S5500WB/S5500WB12V FAB2 and later baseboards.

- BMC firmware rev 0.53 or later MUST be preinstalled prior to installing
  this FRU/SDR package.

- BIOS R0050 or later MUST be preinstalled prior to installing
  this FRU/SDR package.

- BMC 00.46 or later and a BIOS supporting LV-DDR3 DIMM detection MUST be 
  preinstalled prior to installing this FWB_11 FRU/SDR package if the user
  wants functional DIMM voltage sensors.

- The front panel temperature sensor is not supported by Chenbro chassis.

=============================================================================
                      IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
  
  Please be aware of what your chassis hardware currently has support for
  before entering defects.

  Please ensure that required BMC FW and BIOS versions are preinstalled or
  the DIMM voltage sensors and Westmere processor support will not work 
  correctly. 

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

1. Ensure BMC release 0.36 or later and BIOS R0033 or later are pre-installed
   before attempting this FRU/SDR update.

2. Copy all of the files in the archive 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 new alpha baseboards, then
   execute the following command to program the empty FRU device:

	FRUSDR /fru WB_BMC.fru (for system with SSI power supply)
	FRUSDR /fru WBV_BMC.fru (for system with 12-Volt power supply)
   
4. Now execute the following command to bring up the main FRU/SDR load menu:

	FRUSDR /cfg master.cfg


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.

=============================================================================
                           KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS
=============================================================================
- Ensure that you have the correct product ID and HW rev ID programmed into
  the baseboard. Instructions and the utility to perform this is provided
  in the BMC firmware release package. Incorrectly assigned product and HW
  rev IDs will result in incorrect sensor behavior.
  
- Due to known issues in BMC32 or older versions, this package only works with 
  BMC33 or later versions.

- Due to PMBus PSU issues, sensor 0x50 - 0x57 are disabled. Sensors 0x56 and 
  0x57 can cause interference for FSC.
  

=============================================================================
