Updating FRUSDR

How to update the FRUSDR for optimum server performance Processes
3. Change to the current directory containing the FRUSDR package.
4. Run the nsh script in the FRUSDR folder.
2.6 The Update Process
The update process prompts the user for configuration details. Incorrect details entered during
the process can lead to non-optimal energy usage and acoustics. So, make sure you have the
system configuration details ready before starting the update process.
Some of the options seen while updating FRUSDR on Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor 5500 based
server boards are given below for your reference.
Q1: Select the function you want to perform:
1: Update only the SDR
2: Update only the FRU
3: Update both the SDR and the FRU
4: Modify the Asset Tag
5: Exit FRU/SDR update
The user can choose to update either or both FRU and SDR or the Asset Tag as shown by the
different options. Enter the number given against the options based on your selection.
2.6.1 SDR Related Questions
Q2: Select the Chassis
1: Intel(R) Server Chassis SR1600UR
2: Intel(R) Server Chassis SR1625UR
3: Intel(R) Server Chassis SR2600URBRP
4: Intel(R) Server Chassis SR2600URLX
5: Other Chassis
The FRUSDR utility auto detects Intel
®
chassis. This question is prompted only if the probing
fails. The user is given the responsibility to correctly identify the chassis. Please refer to the
section Chassis Identification for more details on how to identify common Intel
®
chassis
available for various Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor 5500 based server Boards.
If Intel
®
chassis is selected (that is, user selection is NOT “Other Chassis” in the options above),
then the utility directly proceeds with FRU related questions (for example, Q8-Q12).
If “Other chassis” option is selected, the user has to provide the complete chassis configuration
details in response to the questions that follow (for example Q3-Q7).
Q3: Does the system detect chassis intrusion?
The user needs to identify if the chassis intrusion switch is connected to the server. This switch
will be wired from the motherboard and kept in contact with the chassis cover such that the
switch position changes when chassis cover is opened or closed.
Q4: Does the front panel support a NMI button?
The NMI button is the Non-Maskable Interrupt button which is available on the front panel of the
chassis. It can be identified from the front panel controls if the NMI button is supported. This is
commonly identified as a reset button which can only be pressed using the end of a paper clip.
