how to reset FRU/SDR firmware back to factory default

I have a s2600cwt mother board. I download the latest bios, bmc and FRU/SDR firmware package, extract them to root directory of my usb disk. boot from there, and the update process started sucessfully. The bios, bmc part finished successfully, when it goes to fru/sdr part, I select option 3, update both fru and sdr.

Since I'm using a third party chassis, so I select not update the chassis part in FRU update, when it goes to sdr, it finally reported, sdr auto update failed, do you want to go back to legacy mode. So I chose the y, and answered the questions.

other chassis, sys fan 1, 2 connect, 3,4,5,6 not, cpu fan 1 connect, 2 not. rear fan connect. And finished successfully.

then I powered off the machine, powered back on. then I got an warning msg, says, cpu fan 1's speed is 0rpm. which I found the fan is actually running pretty well.

My question is how can I fix this problem or flash the fru/sdr back to factory default.

I've tried, bios default jump way resetting the bios, no luck.

please help to fix.

thanks,

Nathan
