Format Description:
Dell Update Packages (DUP) in Microsoft Windows 32bit format have been designed to run on Microsoft Windows 64bit Operating Systems. Dell Update Packages (DUP) in Microsoft Windows 64bit format will only run on Microsoft Windows 64bit Operating Systems. When selecting a device driver update be sure to select the one that is appropriate for your operating system.
Please note that using DUP to update your BMC firmware would not preserve BMC configuration. All the setting would be restored to default.
Limitation: In this version, BMC added link status debunce function in share NIC for avoiding NIC link state boucing problem during DC cycle. BMC will skip NIC link status change within 5 seconds, so please do not replug LAN cable within 5 seconds.
Do not roll back to old version after you update to V1.14 already. If you want to flash to old version, please use socflash.
BMC firmware might have version dependency with chassis firmware. Before update BMC firmware, please check related chassis FAN Controller Board firmware release package first.
KCSflash - use *.dcs for firmware update NOTE: Since the KCS update utility may refer to some dynamic linked library files, KCSflash directory structure must be maintained to update BMC via KCS channel when it is extracted from the package.

This new version changed BMC shared NIC behavior from bonding mode to NCSI mode. That means you can specify the specific NCSI port (NIC1 or NIC2) as BMC shared NIC. Due to this change, if you're updating via KCS (fbmc.sh) instead of running DUP, it would perform "restore LAN setting to default" to enable this new feature. Please check your network setting after firmware update to confirm if there is any setting changed by this.
If you're updating BMC by DUP (without configuration preserved), Shared NIC2 MAC will be restored to default MAC address. It did not affect the normal operation on shared NIC1. However, if you would like to apply NIC2 as BMC shared NIC, you should program the MAC address again manually by IPMI command.
