Important Notes

• BIOS version R01.01.0011 has been identified as causing Watchdog Timer, Hard Reset, and FRB2 events 
  after updating, which may cause the system to fail to boot. R01.01.0012 has been designated as the replacement release and replaces R01.01.0011.
• This method of updating does not check the current version of firmware before 
  updating. If the current version is the same as in the SFUP package, the update will run anyway.
• 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 environment only.
• Do not modify any of the script files. The scripts as written will provide the most reliable update experience.
  Refer to the userguide which is available in sysfwupdt folder for any update sceanrios or sysfwupdt commands.
  ITK ".cap" file need to be customized else ".cap file" update will fail
