FRU/SDR 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 • 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 FRU/SDR Load Utility You should run the FRU/SDR Load Utility each time you upgrade hardware in your server, excluding add-on PCI boards, hard drives, and RAM. For example, if a second microprocessor is added, you need to run this utility. The utility will program the sensors that monitor the newly added microprocessor. Because the firmware must reload to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the server off and unplug/disconnect the power cords from the server. Wait approximately 30 seconds, and plug-in/reconnect the power cords. 54 cc2300 Carrier Grade Server Product Guide

FRU/SDR 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
•
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 FRU/SDR Load Utility
You should run the FRU/SDR Load Utility each time you upgrade hardware in your server,
excluding add-on PCI boards, hard drives, and RAM.
For example, if a second microprocessor is
added, you need to run this utility.
The utility will program the sensors that monitor the newly
added microprocessor.
Because the firmware must reload to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the
server off and unplug/disconnect the power cords from the server.
Wait approximately 30 seconds,
and plug-in/reconnect the power cords.
