Power Supply Module Fans
Each installed power supply module includes embedded (non-removable) 40-mm fans. They are responsible
for airflow through the power supply module. These fans are managed by the fan control system. Should a
fan fail, the power supply shuts down.

FRUSDR Utility
The purpose of the embedded platform management and fan control systems is to monitor and control
various system features, and to maintain an efficient operating environment. Platform management is also
used to communicate system health to supported platform management software and support mechanisms.
The FRUSDR utility is used to program the server board with platform specific environmental limits,
configuration data, and the appropriate sensor data records (SDRs) for use by these management features.
The FRUSDR utility must be run as part of the initial platform integration process before it is deployed into a
live operating environment. Once the initial FRU and SDR data is loaded on to the system, all subsequent
system configuration changes automatically update SDR data using the BMC auto configuration feature,
without having to run the FRUSDR utility again. However, to ensure the latest sensor data is installed, the
SDR data should be updated to the latest available as part of a planned system software update.
The FRUSDR utility for the given server platform can be downloaded as part of the System Update Package
(SUP) or One-boot Firmware Update (OFU) package from:

Note
: The embedded platform management system may not operate as expected if the platform is not
updated with accurate system configuration data. The FRUSDR utility must be run with the system fully
configured during the initial system integration process for accurate system monitoring and event reporting.
