Using the FRUSDR Load Utility

The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load
(FRUSDR) Utility (FRUSDR.EFI) is an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)
program that updates or modifies the server management subsystem’s product
level FRU and SDR repository.

You should run the FRUSDR Load Utility each time you upgrade or replace the
hardware in your server; excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM. The
utility programs the sensors the server uses to monitor server management.

Using the FRUSDR Load Utility, you can do the following:

Discover the product configuration based on instructions in a master

configuration file.

Display the FRU information.

Update the non-volatile storage device associated with the baseboard

management controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU information.

Generically handle FRU devices that might not be associated with the

BMC.

Supply command lines and interactive input through the standard input

device.

View and direct results to the standard output device.

Running the FRUSDR Load Utility

Follow these steps to run the FRUSDR Load Utility:

1. Boot to the EFI Shell. For information on how to boot the server, refer to

“Power-on Sequence and Power-on Self Test (POST)”.

2. Copy the FRUSDR package to a diskette or to the hard drive. You can

find the FRUSDR package on the CD-ROM included with the server.

3. Load the Intelligent Platform Manager Interface (IPMI) driver by typing

the following command:

load ipmi.efi

NOTE

The IPMI driver file name might change independently of the
FRUSDR Load Utility.
