Hello,
I have to explain at first when updating the BIOS, it is advisable not to directly update from a very old version to the latest version. Instead, it is recommended to perform incremental updates. Additionally, it is suggested to update iDRAC along with the BIOS. https://dell.to/3WVpEdk The suggested sequence is as follows:
1. iDRAC
2. Lifecycle Controller
3. BIOS
I would follow a method as follows, but I would like to remind you that skipping updates is risky.
idrac 3.21.26.22, A00
bios 1.6.11
idrac 3.30.30.30, A00
bios 2.1.8
idrac 3.34.34.34, A00
idrac 3.36.103.36, A00
bios 2.2.9
idrac 4.00.00.00, A00
bios 2.3.10
idrac 4.20.20.20, A00
