When to Run the FRU/SDR Load Utility
You should run the FRU/SDR Load Utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your
server, excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM. For example, when you upgrade your
processor or add a second power module to the 1+1 power supply.
Because the firmware must reload to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the
server off and unplug/disconnect the power cords from the server. Wait approximately 30 seconds,
and plug-in/reconnect the power cords.
What You Need to Do
The FRU/SDR Load Utility may be run directly from the Documentation and Resource 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 FRU/SDR utility.
