Support for the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 series requires specific hardware and software requirements to be used on the following Intel® Server Boards/Platforms.

Note:
Updating the software firmware package (BIOS/BMC/FRUSDR) from a previous version other than what is stated below is a two-step process. Depending on the tool being used, the DOS firmware update package or the Intel® Deployment Assistant or One Flash Update Package should be ran first and then the stand-alone FRUSDR package should immediately be ran to successfully complete the update process.
