Field Replaceable Unit (Fru) And Sensor Data Record (Sdr) Data - Intel S2600KPFR Product Specifications

Product Features Overview
The Boot Block detects partial BIOS update and automatically boots in Recovery

Mode.
The BMC asserts Recovery Mode GPIO in case of partial BIOS update and FRB2

time-out.
The BIOS Recovery takes place without any external media or Mass Storage device as it
utilizes a Backup BIOS image inside the BIOS flash in Recovery Mode.
The Recovery procedure is included here for general reference. However, if in conflict, the
instructions in the BIOS Release Notes are the definitive version.
When the BIOS Recovery Jumper (see Figure 38) is set, the BIOS begins by logging a "Recovery
Start" event to the System Event Log (SEL). It then loads and boots with a Backup BIOS image
residing in the BIOS flash device. This process takes place before any video or console is
available. The system boots to the embedded uEFI shell, and a "Recovery Complete" event is
logged to the SEL. From the uEFI Shell, the BIOS can then be updated using a standard BIOS
update procedure, defined in Update Instructions provided with the system update package
downloaded from the Intel web site. Once the update has completed, the recovery jumper is
switched back to its default position and the system is power cycled.
If the BIOS detects a partial BIOS update or the BMC asserts Recovery Mode GPIO, the BIOS
will boot up with Recovery Mode. The difference is that the BIOS boots up to the Error
Manager Page in the BIOS Setup utility. In the BIOS Setup utility, boot device, Shell or Linux for
example, could be selected to perform the BIOS update procedure under Shell or OS
environment.

Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Data

As part of the initial system integration process, the server board/system must have the
proper FRU and SDR data loaded. This ensures that the embedded platform management
system is able to monitor the appropriate sensor data and operate the system with best
cooling and performance. The BMC supports automatic configuration of the manageability
subsystem after changes have been made to the system's hardware configuration. Once the
system integrator has performed an initial SDR/CFG package update, subsequent
auto-configuration occurs without the need to perform additional SDR updates or provide
other user input to the system when any of the following components are added or removed.
