BIOS and System Firmware Update Package (SFUP) for Windows* and Linux* for Intel® Server D50DNP Family

Overview

This update package includes the following production-level system software updates and update utilities:

• System BIOS: R01.02.0005
• ME Firmware: 06.01.04.203.0
• BMC Firmware: 2.94-0
• FRU: 0.09
• CPLD: v5p4
• sysfwupdt.efi: Version 16.0.12

Intel highly recommends reading ReleaseNotes_SFUP_1.0.16.txt entirely before performing the system update. 

System Software Requirements

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.

• System BIOS: production version R01.02.0004 or later
• BMC Firmware: production version 2.71 or later
• CPLD: production version V5P4 or later

Important notes

• If an issue is encountered while attempting to install R01.02.0004 on Windows OS, please manually uninstall the old version of the Sysfwupdt driver from your system, and then run the startup.bat file again
• From BIOS R01.02.0004, the user must add the parameter 'UpdateNvram' in the BIOS script before performing a firmware downgrade to lower versions; otherwise, TCC events may be recorded in SEL.
•  Note the "UpdateNvram" parameter will reset all previously configured BIOS settings to their default values.
• BIOS R01.02.0003 contains the new secure boot components KEK and DB for Microsoft 2025.
• KEK – Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K Certificate Authority (CA) 2023*.
•  DB – Windows UEFI CA 2023*, Microsoft UEFI CA 2023* and Microsoft Option ROM UEFI CA 2023*.
• Please be aware that new secure boot keys are necessary for Windows 2025. To update the new DB/KEK keys, the previous secure boot keys stored in the BIOS must be removed. The user must include the "UpdateNvram" parameter when flashing 
• BIOS R01.002.0003 image. 
• Note that the "UpdateNvram" parameter will reset all previously configured BIOS settings to their default values.
• Add "startup_CAP.sh & startup_CAP.bat" to update CPLD, BMC, FRU, BIOS & BIOS_CAP all at once on one reboot. 
• Be aware that because R01.02.0001 supports Intel® 5th Xeon Scalable Family Processor, an internal security key would make BIOS CAP file update FAIL during the FW update process on one reboot.
• BIOS R01.01.0005 -> BIOS R01.02.0001 can't update CAP on one reboot.
• Firmware check is not applicable, hence updates will be triggered even when the versions in the system and in the SFUP package are the same
• Do NOT interrupt or reboot or remove power from your system during the update process. Doing so may render your system inoperable.
• Do NOT attempt to down rev the system software once loaded on to the system. Doing so may render your system inoperable.
• All updates provided in this package are installed using the Windows* and Linux* operating environments only.
• Do not modify any of the script files. The scripts, as written, will provide the most reliable update experience.
• Refer to the user guide, which is available in the sysfwupdt folder, for any update scenarios or sysfwupdt commands.
• R01.02.0002_CAPSULE_Customized_signed.cap file needs to be modified before update. Otherwise update will fail
• Added the "startup_CAP" script to update all FW components and BIOS customization cap file
