Windows and Linux System Update Package (SFUP) Installation and Operation Instructions Intel highly recommends reading this document in its entirety before performing the system update. Verifying that your system meets the documented requirements will ensure a successful update and provide the most reliable system functionality after the update has completed. Released - 09 February 2023 ******************************************************************************** This update package includes the following production level system software updates and update utilities: System BIOS - 01.02.0007 ME Firmware - 04.04.04.202 BMC Firmware - 2.90.e5e4d391 FRUSDR - 0.43 Pmem - 2.2.0.1553 CPLD - v2P1 sysfwupdt - Version 16.0.7 ******************************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTES ******************************************************************************** !! Starting from BIOS version R01.01.0007, PCH Security Version Number (SVN) has been updated to 02. To update the BIOS firmware, the "-recovery" parameter is required for the sysfwupdt command (ex. sysfwupdt.eexe -u xxx.bin -recovery) when updating from any previous BIOS version. The startup scrip included in this package has this parameter added. !! !! After completing BIOS firmware update, user must execute this IPMI command:   ipmitool -I lanplus -H x.x.x.x -U YYY -P ZZZ -C 17 -b 6 -t 0x2c raw 0x2e 0xdf 0x57 0x01 0x00 0x02  where -H x.x.x.x represents the IP address of the Ethernet port dedicated to the server management -U YYY represents the user name for the BMC administartive account -P ZZZ represents the password for the BMC administartive account A system reboot is required for the changes to take effect. !! !! Firmware check is not applicable, hence updates will be triggered even when the versions in the system and in the SFUP package are same. !! !! Do NOT interrupt, reboot or remove power from your system during the update process. Doing so may render your system inoperable. !! !! Do NOT attempt to down rev the system software once loaded onto the system. Doing so may render your system inoperable. !! !! All updates provided in this package are installed using the Windows* and Linux* operating environment only. !! !! Do not modify any of the script files. The scripts as written will provide the most reliable update experience. !! !! Refer to the user guide which is available in sysfwupdt folder for any update sceanrios or sysfwupdt commands. !! !! ITK ".cap" file need to be customized else ".cap file" update will fail !! ******************************************************************************** SUPPORTED PRODUCTS ******************************************************************************** Intel(R) Server Board D40AMP Family.
