NIC driver updates
Hi,
We have a poweredge R910 (servicetag: <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy>), that the RDP connection to the Hyper-v virtual Machines on this server rendomly failed, one of the steps we would like to take to update the NIC drivers and I want the correct drivers, I think there is a way to allow the dell analyze all the hardware on the server and then comeupwith dirvers update is any exist.
as I remmebr for the otiplex work stations when i go to the dell.com/support there I can give the service tag of the machine and dell do the rest but on this pwoeredg I cannot do this.
Any idea how can I allow dell to find the druiver update for this server?

MR. Shahin,
For the driver you will need to be more specific to the version of the OS you have. I can then provide the link to the proper driver.
For monitoring and managing the hardware you can use OpenManage Server Admin (OMSA) and it will do that for you. Here is the link -

Let me know.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick replay,
This is a production server with 10 VM servers on it and this server is in data center so I would like to have the correct version of the driver so I can again RDP to server again :)
as I said server is Power edge R910 and has these NICs:
I hope you can provid me the link to the correct driver.

The link has to pakegs which one should I install,? also should we update the the firmware as well? we have have some problem with our custmoer who accessing the Hyper-v virtual machines that are hosted on this server, that is why we decided to update the driver.
