(Request/Response) CMD Comments

The firmware upgrade commands supported by the ATCA-7350 are implemented

according to the PICMG HPM.1 Revision 1.0 specification.

z Before sending any of these commands, the shelf management software must

check whether the receiving IPMI controller supports Emerson specific IPMI

commands, by using the IPMI command 'Get Device ID'. Sending Emerson specific

commands to IPMI controllers which do not support these IPMI commands will lead

to no or undefined results.

z Implementing any of the Emerson specific IPMI commands means that the software

is not portable to other IPMI controllers that do not use the IPMC firmware.
