FRU/SDR Load Utility
The Field Replacement 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 SM
BIOS (SMB) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs). The load utility:
• Discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file
• Displays the FRU information
• Updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area
• Updates the SMB area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device
• Generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC
