FRU Data Update

Typically, an update of the FRU data is not necessary because the board’s correct FRU data is
installed at the factory. If an update of the FRU data is required, it can be done via regular IPMI
FRU device commands. The correct FRU data must be prepared at the factory. Please contact
Kontron for further assistance.

FRU Data Write Protection

If the write protection mode of the IPMI firmware is active, the FRU data cannot be updated,
reprogrammed or modified. For further information on the IPMI firmware write protection,
please refer to Chapter 8.7.

XMC Card Support

The presence or absence of an XMC card is reported by the “XMC present” sensor (refer to
sensor description).

If an XMC card is present, the card's FRU data EEPROM is readable/writable. The size of the
EEPROM must be smaller or equal to 256 bytes because of 8-bit EEPROM addressing. Note
that XMC FRU size is always reported as 256 bytes and writing to locations that are higher than
the real capacity should be avoided.

The FRU data of the XMC can be read under Linux using ipmitool fru print 1.
