                       SC5650UP ULA Configuration
==============================================================================
There is one option to update FRUSDR as "SC5650UP ULA Configuration". It is a FRU
configuration on SC5650UP to get ultra low acoustic(ULA) performance. The
configuration is listed below:
   - Chassis: SC5650UP
   - Power supply unit: Revision E62683-003 or later which is integrated in SC5650UP
   - Motherboard: Intel(R) Server board S3420GPLX, S3420GPLC
   - CPU: Any of Intel(R) Xeon X3400 series 
   - Memory: 1G RDIMM per channel, total of up to 2G DIMM sizes 
   - HDD: Up to 2 SATA HDDs only
   - Additional card: No add-in cards are supported in this configuration
   - BIOS: Rev.22 or later
   - FW: Rev1.10 or later
   - FRUSDR: Rev.12 or later
 
The Hotswap Backplane fan should not be installed in any of the fan headers on the board.
Only the rear fan & the CPU fan should be installed.
 
If not following the above configuration, the system can not guarantee the low 
acoustic performance.

                      IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
 
 - Please be aware of what your chassis hardware currently has support .
 - There are two update mode for user select, Factory mode and User mode;
   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 0115 or later and BIOS R0030 or later are pre-installed
   before attempting this FRU/SDR update.

2. Copy all efi, GP_MB05.fru, MASTER.CFG, upd_FRUSDR.nsh, and GP_20.sdr 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 execute the following command to bring up the main 
   FRU/SDR load menu:

	 FRUSDR /cfg master.cfg

4. 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.

5. Once the package has finished its installation, reset the system.
