How You Use the FRUSDR Load Utility
This utility is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS
†
Ver. 6.22, and later versions. The
utility accepts CFG, SDR and FRU load files. The executable file for the utility is frusdr.exe. The
utility requires the following supporting files:
• one or more .fru files describing the system’s field replaceable units
• a .cfg file describing the system configuration
• a .sdr file describing the sensors in the system
Command Line Format
The basic command line format is
frusdr [/?] [/h] [/d {dmi, fru, sdr}] [/cfg filename.cfg] /p
Command Description
frusdr Is the name of the utility.
/? or /h Displays usage information.
/d {dmi, fru, sdr} Only displays requested area.
/cfg filename.cfg Uses custom CFG file.
/p Pause between blocks of data.
Parsing the Command Line
The FRUSDR Load Utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line
function may consist of two parameters; for example, cfg filename.cfg. Any invalid parameters
result in displaying an error message and exiting the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a
minus sign (-) to specify command line options. The /p flag may be used in conjunction with any
of the other options.
Displaying Usage Information
When the utility is run with the /? or /h command line flags, the following message is displayed:
FRU & SDR Load Utility Version 3.0

Displaying a Given Area
When the utility is run with the /d DMI, /d FRU, or /d SDR command line flag, the indicated area is
displayed. Each area represents a sensor; one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If
the given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware
failure, the utility displays an error message and exits.
