Intel® Server Board S2600WT TPS Instructions provided with the system update package downloaded from the Intel web site. Once the update has completed, the recovery jumper is switched back to its default position and the system is power cycled. If the BIOS detects a partial BIOS update or the BMC asserts Recovery Mode GPIO, the BIOS will boot up with Recovery Mode. The difference is that the BIOS boots up to the Error Manager Page in the BIOS Setup utility. In the BIOS Setup utility, boot device, Shell or Linux for example, could be selected to perform the BIOS update procedure under Shell or OS environment. 2.3.2 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Data As part of the initial system integration process, the server board/system must have the proper FRU and SDR data loaded. This ensures that the embedded platform management system is able to monitor the appropriate sensor data and operate the system with best cooling and performance. The BMC supports automatic configuration of the manageability subsystem after changes have been made to the system's hardware configuration. Once the system integrator has performed an initial SDR/CFG package update, subsequent auto-configuration occurs without the need to perform additional SDR updates or provide other user input to the system when any of the following components are added or removed. • Processors • I/O Modules (dedicated slot modules) • Storage modules, such as a SAS module (dedicated slot modules) • Power supplies • Fans • Fan options (e.g. upgrade from non-redundant cooling to redundant cooling) • Intel® Xeon Phi™ co-processor cards • Hot Swap Backplane • Front Panel NOTE: The system may not operate with best performance or best/appropriate cooling if the proper FRU and SDR data is not installed. 2.3.2.1 Loading FRU and SDR Data The FRU and SDR data can be updated using a standalone FRUSDR utility in the uEFI shell, or can be done using the OFU utility program under a supported operating system. Full FRU and SDR update instructions are provided with the appropriate system update package (SUP) or OFU utility which can be downloaded from the Intel web site. 2.3.3 Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) & Management Engine (ME) Firmware See Chapters 7, 8, and 9 for features and functions associated with the BMC firmware and ME firmware. 13 Revision 1.0

Intel® Server Board S2600WT TPS
13
Revision 1.0
Instructions provided with the system update package downloaded from the Intel web site. Once the update
has completed, the recovery jumper is switched back to its default position and the system is power cycled.
If the BIOS detects a partial BIOS update or the BMC asserts Recovery Mode GPIO, the BIOS will boot up with
Recovery Mode. The difference is that the BIOS boots up to the Error Manager Page in the BIOS Setup utility.
In the BIOS Setup utility, boot device, Shell or Linux for example, could be selected to perform the BIOS
update procedure under Shell or OS environment.
2.3.2
Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Data
As part of the initial system integration process, the server board/system must have the proper FRU and SDR
data loaded.
This ensures that the embedded platform management system is able to monitor the
appropriate sensor data and operate the system with best cooling and performance.
The BMC supports
automatic configuration of the manageability subsystem after changes have been made to the system’s
hardware configuration.
Once the system integrator has performed an initial SDR/CFG package update,
subsequent auto-configuration occurs without the need to perform additional SDR updates or provide other
user input to the system when any of the following components are added or removed.
Processors
I/O Modules (dedicated slot modules)
Storage modules, such as a SAS module (dedicated slot modules)
Power supplies
Fans
Fan options (e.g. upgrade from non-redundant cooling to redundant cooling)
Intel® Xeon Phi™ co-processor cards
Hot Swap Backplane
Front Panel
NOTE:
The system may not operate with best performance or best/appropriate cooling if the proper FRU
and SDR data is not installed.
2.3.2.1
Loading FRU and SDR Data
The FRU and SDR data can be updated using a standalone FRUSDR utility in the uEFI shell, or can be done
using the OFU utility program under a supported operating system. Full FRU and SDR update instructions are
provided with the appropriate system update package (SUP) or OFU utility which can be downloaded from
the Intel web site.
2.3.3
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) & Management Engine (ME) Firmware
