When you updated the SDR, which chassis did you specify?
Did the SDR utility display a message about PS1 and PS2 being present or not?

These servers do not support PSMI power supplies. They only support PMBus 1.1 
power supplies for power sensors.

Hi,

I've attempted some possible solutions.
- updating BMC firmware (ver.: 0.57)
- updating BIOS
- reinstall IPMItool (ver. 1.8.11)

By any chance, may I need additional hardware connector for power supply?

During BIOS&BMC firmware update, BMC didn't automatically detect any power 
supply.
Thus, I manually checked 'yes' for 'SSI power supply'.
I also carried out a FRU/SDR package  update.

After these tries, BMC still recognizes a power supply.
