                    IMPORTANT NOTES
*************************************************************************************
The following update process must be followed to ensure a trouble free
updating of your baseboard. The order is important to minimize any issues for
status checking as different components are initialized.
1. BIOS/ME firmware
2. BMC firmware

*** Advisory Note ***

    Do not modify any of the script files. The scripts as written will provide 
    the most reliable update experience

    To run these updates, you must boot the system to the embedded uEFI shell

    If for any reason the System BIOS, BMC Firmware, or FRUSDR data need to be 
    re-installed after the initial update has been performed, the package does 
    include standalone script files that can be run individually. These files 
    are: UpdBIOS.nsh, UpdBMC.nsh, and UpdFRUSDR.nsh

    We recommend to use these files after the system has been updated 
    initially using the Startup.nsh file                                                                           

    When firmware update is complete, SUT will automatically reboot to make 
    update effective.
