Viewing Sensor Data Records; Updating System Firmware And Bios - Intel SPSH4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Viewing Sensor Data Records

To view the Sensor Data Records (SDR):
1. From the SSU Main window, choose SDR Manager.
When you start the SDR Manager, it automatically loads the SDR entries from non-volatile
memory.
The SDR Manager window has a navigation pane on the left that displays, in a tree format,
the sensor data records. The tree has categories for each type of record. Clicking on a
category expands or collapses a list of SDRs for that category. Clicking on an individual
SDR displays the information for that SDR in the presentation pane in the upper right. The
description pane in the lower right displays a description of the currently selected SDR type.
2. Use the <F4> and <F5> keys to scroll the window contents to the left and right to view all of the
columns.
3. Use the File and SDR menu items to work with the SDR information:
Open: Views data from a previously saved SDR file.
Save As: Saves the currently loaded SDR data to a file.
Properties: Displays information about the SDR, including IPMI version, number of SDR
entries, time stamps for changes to the SDR information, and free space remaining.
Reload: Refreshes the display by reading the SDR data from the server.

Updating System Firmware and BIOS

Using the SSU, you can update the BIOS, update the firmware, and verify the firmware. Procedures
for each are given below. You can also update the BIOS and firmware without using the SSU
(page 42). You can download the updates from the Intel support website:

Updating the BIOS
