uEFI System Update Package (SUP) Installation and Operation
Instructions
Intel highly recommends reading this document in its entirety before performing the system update. Verifying that your system meets the documented requirements will ensure a successful update and provide the most reliable system functionality after the update has completed.
Released - December 3, 2018
********************************************************************************
This update package includes the following production level system software
updates:
System BIOS - R01.03.0021
ME Firmware - 03.01.03.030.0
BMC Firmware - 01.15.11288
FRUSDR - 1.30
--- Supported Products ---
Intel(R) Server Board S7200AP and S7200APR Product Families
Contact Intel for Production hardware support requirements
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Prior to installation, read the BIOS RELEASE NOTES.txt document and pay close attention to the IMPORTANT NOTES and KNOWN ISSUES for this specific release.
- This unified firmware package supports both the S7200AP and S7200APR board and compute module products. All associated Intel® Xeon Phi™ x200(Formerly KNL) or X205 (Formerly KNM) CPUs are also supported.
- All updates provided in this package are installed using the embedded uEFI operating environment only.
- Do not modify any of the script files. The scripts as written will provide the most reliable update experience.
- If for any reason the System BIOS, BMC Firmware, or FRU&SDR data need to be re-installed after the initial update has been performed, the package does
include standalone script files that can be run individually. These files include: startup.NSH, updBIOS.NSH, updME.NSH, updFD.NSH, updBMC.NSH, and updFRUSDR.NSH.
NOTE: Do NOT use the individual .NSH update files until after the system has been updated initially using the STARTUP.NSH file.
NOTE: When updating the BMC Firmware using the BMC.NSH update script file, there is an interaction between the BMC flash and the BIOS USB drivers in this release
which may cause random characters (usually the letter 'e') to appear in the command line after the BMC update has completed. A reboot after the BMC flash
will clear this error.

UPDATE PROCEDURE
*****************************************************************
- Unzip the contents of the update package and copy all files to the root directory on a USB flash drive
- Insert the USB flash drive to any available USB port on the server system to be updated.
- Power on the server
- The system will automatically access the uEFI shell and begin the update process.
Or
- If the files were copied to a folder other than the root, Boot the Server to the uEFI shell. This can be accessed via the <F2> BIOS setup utility during POST or via the <F6> Boot Menu accessed during POST.
- Run the command "map -r" in the uEFI shell to mount the USB flash drive
- Run the command "fs0:" to change folders to the USB flash drive. The USB flash drive may also mount to fs1: depending on other installed devices. The number of "fs#" is dependent on the result of command "map -r"
- Change folders to the folder holding the update package files and manually start the "Startup.nsh" script file to start loading all updates.
- Reboot the system after the update process has successfully completed
Advisory NOTE:
Whenever the system BIOS is updated, two BIOS images are installed, a primary
image and a backup image. The backup image is loaded during the 1st system reboot
after the primary BIOS image is updated. During the 1st system reboot, the
screen will be blank for approximately 2 minutes while the backup BIOS image
is being loaded. DO NOT power off or reboot the system during this time.
A message will appear on the screen when the backup BIOS image update has
completed.
Verifying Updates:
- During POST, hit the <F2> Key when prompted to access the BIOS Setup Utility
- From the BIOS Setup Utility main menu, Hit the <F9> key to load BIOS Defaults
- At the MAIN menu verify the BIOS revision is correct
- Move cursor to the SERVER MANAGEMENT Menu
- Move cursor down to the SYSTEM INFORMATION Option and hit Enter
- Verify the BMC Firmware revision is correct
- Verify the SDR revision is correct
- Verify the ME Firmware revision is correct
- Configure desired BIOS Option settings
- Hit the F10 Key to save changes and Exit
The System Software Update is Complete.
