Hey.. Hope this is not too late.. even if it is.. it may help someone else. I am updating servers left and right, trying to get them to the latest bios, firmware, etc. I am upgrading a bunch of Perc3di Controllers and made what I thought was a mistake. I was going to Ver 2.8 (driver / firmware) I applied the Windows Driver First (as the docs state) and then went to apply the firmware update.. it failed. Looked into it and found this server had missed the last updates and was too far behind in its firmware version to bring up without applying a couple of "previous" versions. Did this no problem at all. Windows event viewer gave a couple of errors, but once everything was caught up and even, it was all good.
