Cannot update firmware on Poweredge R210 II

Hi there,

I am receiving the messages and errors below when trying to update the firmware on my Poweredge  R210 II server. I am using Dell Server BIOS PowerEdge R210 II Version 2.8.0 which appears to be the latest version for this BIOS but receive the following messages:

*red* Please do not remove the AC power !

Insyde flash utility etc

File loading 100%

Current BIOS Model name:

New BIOS Model name: PowerEdge T110 II

*red* Cannot use  a "PowerEdge T110 II" BIOS

*red* In a " "

*red* Rom update not performed

etc


I saw the following post for the server in the subject line which has the same message above and points to the server being an OEM box but I am able to open up a support page on the dell.com website using the service tag number on my machine. Any suggestions? Here is the post:

Hi! I'm very with physical servers so having a lot of problems.
I did same as you mentioned it showed me an error saying file cannot be executed in BIOS mode.

I thought maybe it's because I was using BIOS so I went to boot settings and changed BIOS to UEFI but still no luck. I've PowerEdge r210ii and bios is never updated and it's running on version 1.1.1 having Windows 7 installed on it. I wanted to install a new OS (Windows Server 2019) but I'm exhausted googling, reading to solution, documentations and trying out different ways but nothing seems to help.
