NX3100 Firmware Updates
I have a NX3100 with an enclosure of disks attached. I have multiple firmwares to update:
PERC H700
PERC H800
BIOS
iDRAC 6
NIC Firmware and Driver Broadcom NetXtreme I and II
Several Hard Drive Firmware updates.
My question that I can't seem to find an answer too is what order should I run these updates. Also this is on a Windows W2k8r2 OS.

Forgot to mention the Lifecycle Controller and the Enclosure Memory Module update as well.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your post,
Installation Order of DUPs
If you are installing multiple DUPs, install the updates that require a reboot at the end. For recommended installation order see the following table.
Table 1. Update Packages: Recommended Installation Order
Installation Order
System Software Components
1
Device driver
2
Device firmware
3
ESM firmware
4
LifeCycle Controller
5
BIOS
NOTE: If you have updated the BIOS, power supply firmware, PERC firmware, PCIeSSD firmware, Mellanox, Emulex firmware and driver, chipset and video drivers, Intel, QLogic and Broadcom firmware the changes to the components take effect only after you reboot the system. On 13G systems, the SAS expander firmware does not require a reboot.
Same details available with Dell Update Package User Guide .
Hope it’s helpful for you.
Thanks,
Amit
