FRUSDR Load Utility The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load Utility is a DOS-based program used to update the server management subsystem's product level FRU, SDR, and the SM BIOS (SMB) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs). The load utility • discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file • displays the FRU information • updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area • updates the SMB area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device • generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC When to Run the FRUSDR Load Utility You should run the FRUSDR Load Utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your server, excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM. For example, if you replace an array of fans, you need to run the utility. It programs the sensors that need to be monitored for server management. Because the firmware must reload to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the server off and remove the AC power cords from the server. Wait approximately 30 seconds, and reconnect the power cords. What You Need to Do The FRUSDR Load Utility may be run directly from the Configuration Software CD or from a diskette you create from the CD. It can be extracted from the CD by booting to the CD and selecting "Make Diskettes" or by inserting the CD into a PC running Windows 95 or NT and selecting the "Utilities" section.  NOTE If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use BIOS Setup to enable it. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you are done with the FRUSDR utility. 50 Configuration Software and Utilities

FRUSDR Load Utility
The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load Utility is a DOS-based
program used to update the server management subsystem’s product level FRU, SDR, and the SM
BIOS (SMB) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs).
The load utility
discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file
displays the FRU information
updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area
updates the SMB area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device
generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC
When to Run the FRUSDR Load Utility
You should run the FRUSDR Load Utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your
server, excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM.
For example, if you replace an array of
fans, you need to run the utility.
It programs the sensors that need to be monitored for server
management.
Because the firmware must reload to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the
server off and remove the AC power cords from the server.
Wait approximately 30 seconds, and
reconnect the power cords.
What You Need to Do
The FRUSDR Load Utility may be run directly from the Configuration Software CD or from a
diskette you create from the CD.
It can be extracted from the CD by booting to the CD and
selecting “Make Diskettes” or by inserting the CD into a PC running Windows 95 or NT and
selecting the “Utilities” section.
NOTE
If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use
BIOS Setup to enable it.
If necessary, you can disable the drive after you are
done with the FRUSDR utility.
