SOP to update Altos R701 firmware

Model : Altos R701
Purpose: This SOP guide you how to update system firmware like BMC, HSC, FRUSDR, BIOS, Acer Logo and SMBIOS information.   
Please update the system firmware with following sequency.

1. Clear CMOS
2. Update FRU v5.6.A : Disk1	(040526 R701 FRUSDR65A-DISK1)
3. Update BMC v120: Disk2	(040526 R701 BMC120-DISK2)    
4. Update BIOS P28 : Disk3	(041115 R701 BIOSP37-DISK3)
5. Flash Acerlogo : Disk 4	(040714 R701 ACERLOGO-DISK4)
5. Flash HSC : Disk 5           (040519 R701 HSBP-DISK5)
5. Clear CMOS

==================================================================
Clear CMOS
1. Find jumper J1D4 on the M/B
2. Remote Power Core
3. Place a jumper to short pin 2 and pin 3 
4. Power on server. Then, the system will show below message during POST
ERROR:
0120:NVRAM cleared By jumper

5. Then, you can press 4 seconds to power down server.
6. CMOS is cleared.  Restore the jumper.
==================================================================
Update FRUSDR v5.6.A
1. Boot from FRUSDR bootable diskette
2. Run a:\>R701_FRU.bat
	
	Updating the FRU and sensor Data records
3. When the firmware update is completed, reboot the system with current diskette.
4. Boot from pure DOS and run a:\>R701DMIV.bat to confirm the SMBIOS information is updated as below.
	System Information -
		Manufacturer : Acer Incorporated.
		Product Name : Altos R701
	Board Information - 
		Manufacturer : Acer
		Product Name : SE7501WV2S
=====================================================================
Update BMC v120

Note:When performing an update from BMC 1.10 to BMC 1.20, it is required that a BMC 1.13 update be performed first. This BMC Update should NOT be used on the Altos R700 Server.

1. Move the BMC boot block write enable jumper (J4B2) to short pins 1-2. 
  This jumper is on the left side of the PCI-X B slot.
2. Power on the server and boot to the diskette 2.
 
3. Run a:\>Update.bat 
4. Then, flash BMC process will be automatically done and prompt below desciption during processing.
   SE7501WV2 BMC V120 firmware update

	Uploading OP Code 0000.......
	
	Please wait while existing firware transfer mode.

	Firwmare Update has complete!
	Please update system with the latest FRU/SDR package.

5. When the firmware update is completed, please run "a:>servid.exe" to check the BMC version is the same as what you have flahsed.

6. When the update has completed, power down the server and move the BMC 
  boot block write enable jumper (J4B2) back to the default position of 
  shorting pins 2-3. This jumper is on the left side of the PCI-X B slot.

===================================================================
Update BIOS production P28

1. Boot from pure DOS
2. Run "a:\>1.bat".  Then it will flash BIOS.  
You will see the BIOS flash progress bar twice.  The system will be reboot automatically when the process is done.
3. Power down server when the process is done.   
4. Boot onto BIOS Setup.  Press F9 to load default.

=====================================================================
Flash Acerlogo

1. Boot from pure DOS
2. Run "a:\>acerlogo.bat".  Then it will update boot logo.  
3. Power down server when the process is done.   

==================================================================
Update HSC 0.6
Note:
1. This update to HSC 0.6 requires a Boot Block update
2. If you do attempt to update the boot block while the write
    protection jumper is in place, it will not be modified. However,
    when the utility attempts to verify that the code in the flash
    matches the code in the SCFH0006.HEX file, the verify will fail.
    Please note that this is a "false" warning - the boot block on the
    HSC is still perfectly fine since it is write protected.

Update Procedures
1. Power down the server, unplug the AC cord and open the chassis. 
2. Jumper J1 controls the boot block write protect, it is located directly 
   under the power connector on the  Harddisk Back Plane Board. Pins 1, 3 & 5 are the pins closest to the 
   edge of the board. Move the jumper from the write protect position 
   (pins 1 & 3 connected) to the write enable position (pins 3 & 5 connected). 
3. Plug in the AC cord, power up and boot to DOS with DISK5. 
4. Run "a:\>HSCUPDATE.bat".  Then it will flash BIOS.
5. After the update completes, power down and unplug AC. 
6. Move the jumper on pins J1 back to the write protect position (pins 1& 3 connected). 
7. Close the chassis, plug in AC and boot normally.
=====================================================================
Clear CMOS
1. Find jumper J1D4 on the M/B
2. Remote Power Core
3. Place a jumper to short pin 2 and pin 3 
4. Power on server and press 4 seconds to power down server.
5. CMOS is cleared.  Restore the jumper.

=====================================================================
Query the system for current BIOS and firmware revisions
1. run a:\>servid.exe on Disk1 at pure dos mode for checking current firmware version on the system.
