Hello Gary,

 

I've outlined the updates you can do and in order.

Do the BIOS first, will require a reboot, then do the iDRAC for each step.

In the DRAC, on the update page, you will provide the Windows .exe file.

 

1.

BIOS: 2.12.2

iDRAC:5.10.00.00, A00

 

2.

BIOS: 2.14.2

iDRAC: 5.10.30.00, A00

 

3.

BIOS: 2.16.1

iDRAC: 6.00.30.00, A00

 

4.

BIOS: 2.18.1

iDRAC: 6.10.80.00, A00

 

5.

BIOS: 2.19.1

iDRAC: 7.00.00.00
