R620 / R720 firmware updates
What is upgrade path for these versions, and the recommended method to avoid bricking the servers? Searched all over the net and couldn't get a definitive answer. Thanks!

Hello,
I know you are aware some of those are very old firmware.
These step up in four stages should get you up to current.
Do this for both the R620 and R720s.
1st:
iDRAC 1.66.65
LCC 1.4.2
BIOS 2.4.3
-----------------------------
2nd:
iDRAC 2.10.10.10
BIOS 2.5.2
-----------------------------
3rd:
iDRAC 2.30.30.30
BIOS 2.5.4
-----------------------------
4th:
iDRAC 2.65.65.65
BIOS 2.9.0
-----------------------------

@DELL-Young E
From what I gathered, don't I have to upgrade in certain stages and install specific versions in order? I read that going from an ancient version such as ex: 1.6.0 directly to 2.9.0 can brick the server?
