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. How You Use the FRUSDR Load Utility This utility is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS† Ver. 6.22, and later versions. The utility accepts CFG, SDR and FRU load files. The executable file for the utility is frusdr.exe. The utility requires the following supporting files: • one or more .fru files describing the system's field replaceable units • a .cfg file describing the system configuration • a .sdr file describing the sensors in the system 48 Intel Server Board STL2 Product Guide
