PERC H700 firmware and driver update
This is hopefully an easy answer, but I have a firmware and driver update for my PERC H700 and wondering which should be installed first? Does it even matter?

Hello Blake
You will not likely have issues updating in any order, but best practice when performing updates is to start the furthest away from the system BIOS and work your way back. That means you would update the driver first.
The reason behind updating that way is because if you update something like the system BIOS first and something that loads after the system BIOS is at an older incompatible revision you would have to backflash the system BIOS to be able to get into the other device/OS to be able to update it. If you update in the correct order then you should still be able to perform updates to the outdated device to bring it to a compatible revision.
Thanks
