You can also run the SSU from a CD. Place the CD in the CD-ROM drive. If the system is
not set to boot from the CD-ROM drive, change the boot priority. For more information,
see “Changing the Boot Device Priority Temporarily” on page 63. After making sure that
the system boots from the CD-ROM drive, restart the system. Run the file SSU.BAT.

properly in a DOS window under another operating system.
FRU and SDR Load Utility
The Field Replaceable 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 Desktop Management Interface (DMI) nonvolatile storage
components (EEPROMs). The utility does the following:
• Discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration
file
• Displays the FRU information
• Updates the EEPROM associated with the Baseboard Management Controller
(BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area
• Updates the DMI FRU area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device
• Generically handles FRU devices that might not be associated with the BMC
WhatYouNeedtoDo
Run the utility either directly from the configuration software CD or from diskettes
created from the CD.
