Setting A System Asset Tag; Creating Diskettes - Intel SE7501BR2 - Server Board Motherboard Product Manual

Updating the SDR Nonvolatile Storage Area
After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it updates the SDR repository
area. Before programming, the utility clears the SDR repository area. The utility filters all tagged
SDRs depending on the product configuration set in the configuration file. Untagged SDRs come
automatically programmed. The utility also copies all written SDRs to the SDR.TMP file; it
contains an image of what was loaded. The TMP file is also useful for debugging the server.
Updating FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area
After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU nonvolatile storage area. First, it
verifies the common header area and checksum from the specified FRU file. The internal use area
reads out of the specified .FRU file then programmed into the nonvolatile storage. The chassis area
reads out of the specified .FRU file. Finally, it reads the product area out of the specified FRU file,
then the area programs into the FRU nonvolatile storage. All areas write to the FRU.TMP file.

Setting a System Asset Tag

You can use the Server Configuration Wizard to set an asset tag on the server. An asset tag is a
user-defined identification number or serial number and can contain both letters and numbers. Use
the steps below to set an asset tag using the Server Configuration Wizard.
1. Use the Resource CD to boot the server to the Server Configuration Wizard.
2. Select the Server Configuration Wizard option and Continue.
3. Select the Run Wizard option and Continue.
4. Select the option for Configure this server with a System Asset Tag and Continue.
5. Type in the asset tag and Continue.

Creating Diskettes

You can use the Resource CD to create diskettes for device drivers or for server management
utilities. You can create diskettes for the NIC drivers, video drivers or SCSI drivers. You can also
create diskettes to use for running the System Setup Utility and the FRU/SDR Load Utility. To
create these diskettes, use the following steps:
1. Use the Resource CD to boot the server to the Server Configuration Wizard.
2. Select the Server Configuration Wizard option and Continue.
3. Select the Create Diskettes option and Continue.
4. Choose to create diskettes either by operating system or by utility/device driver and Continue.
5. If you chose operating system, you will be presented with a list of operating systems from
which to select. If you selected utility / device driver, you will see a list of drivers and utilities
from which to select. Select the appropriate operating system(s), utilities, and device driver(s)
and Continue.
