FRU/SDR Load Utility

The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load Utility is a DOS-based
program used to update the server management subsystem's product level FRU, SDR, and the
SM BIOS (SMB) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs). The load utility
•
Discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file
•
Updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area
•
Updates the SMB area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device
•
Generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC

When to Run the FRU/SDR Load Utility

You should run the FRU/SDR Load Utility each time you upgrade hardware in your server,
excluding add-on PCI boards, hard drives, and RAM. For example, if a second microprocessor is
added, you need to run this utility. The utility will program the sensors that monitor the newly
added microprocessor.
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.
