Updates for PowerEdge W2k server hardware?
I have the current servers running Windows 2000 Server:
PowerEdge 350
PowerEdge 2550
PowerEdge 2550, w/tape backup
PowerEdge 1550
PowerEdge 1400SC
Will I need to update the bios, firmware, hardware drivers for these before I do an in place upgrade to Windows 2003 server?
Has anyone done an in place upgrade on any of these servers? Any gottchas?
thanks,
Carlton.

Below are the download links for your servers. The bios updates for the PE 2550 and the 1550 specifically address updates to Win2003, but the bios on all should be updated. The PERC controller firmware and drivers should also be updated to the latest, especially the Perc3-Di in the PE 2550. Depending on the current firmware version, it needs to be updated in steps from 2.1-3 to 2.5 to 2.71 to 2.8.
