                         INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
=============================================================================


-----------------------------------------------------
   If a BMC has previously been installed
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Update the BMC firmware using BMC66.bat.

2) Update the SDR & FRUs with the FRU/SDR package.

=============================================================================
                           KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS
=============================================================================

1) SIO3 Contention is resolved in this Release
   --------------------------------------------
     This release is for Beta base board (or equivalent) only.  Equivalent HW must contain SIO and GPIO rework.  
	Otherwise system will not function correctly.  True Beta HW must have EEPROM V02.09
	installed to match A1/C0 ESB2/Gilgal on board.


2) Serial/Modem is defeatured for Bensley Platforms.
