=============================================================================
                         IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
=============================================================================
- The following files are necessary to update the firmware:
  Run.bat		- Batch file used to update the firmware
  7520AF48.hex	- BMC firmware hex file for the SE7520AF2 platform
  efs_122.efs	- EFS Web Server efs image for IMM Advanced Edition
  efs_122.hex	- EFS Web Server hex file for IMM Advanced Edition
  FWPIAUpd.exe	- DOS utility to program FW hex file into the flash device
                    Prior versions of this utility will not work with this FW

Executing the fwpiaupd utility with your own command switches is unsupported 
and may leave your baseboard in a non-operational state! Please use the
provided batch file to update the firmware.

Executing the batch file can be done from any media (Hard disk, USB disk-on-key,
shared network drive or floppy).

BMC 0.23 or later must be preinstalled. If this is not the case, please update
the IMM firmware to BMC 0.23 before updating to this release. All production
IMM units are shipping with FW older than version 0.23.

The boot block has been changed with the BMC 0.31 release but it is not
required for this release. The batch file provided with this BMC package
does not update the boot block.

=============================================================================
                         INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
=============================================================================
- If this update is not being applied to BMC 0.23 or later, please update to 
  0.23 before running this update.
- Apply AC and power on the server.
- Execute the run.bat file to begin the firmware update process (if running
  from the Software Update package, select update IMM Firmware option).
- Proceed to install the latest FRU/SDR package and/or other update components
  instructed by the Software Update Package.

=============================================================================
                           KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS
=============================================================================
- Power cycle operations to reset the system should not be used after an OFU
  is registered.  Rather, use CLI resets or similar.

- Please clear the web browser cache if the web server feature was used prior
  to BMC 0.37 as these cached pages will conflict with the pages generated
  with versions after BMC 38 and EFS content rev 1.12.
  The clearing of the web browser cache need only be done once.
