R430/iDRAC8 upgrade path

I have recently purchased an R430 and I'd like to bring it up to date.

The current versions are;

BIOS 1.4.5
iDRAC8 2.40.40.40

I am aware these have to be walked up in pairs and wonder if someone would be kind enough to post the order and/or links to where I can find out the information.

Thank you.

    They are sorted by the release date for your convenience.

    For IDRAC, below stepping may be needed from your current stage

    Note that some versions below could be new platform-specific releases - If so you can skip them as such.

    VERSION RELEASE DATE IMPORTANCE

    2.60.60.60, A00 25 Jun 2018 Recommended
    2.52.52.52, A00 02 Mar 2018 Recommended
    2.50.50.50, A00 26 Sep 2017 Recommended
    2.41.40.40, A00 14 Nov 2016 Optional
    2.40.40.40, A00 12 Oct 2016 Recommended

     

    As far as the context to walk up in pairs you can map the release dates. Start with BIOS and follow up the part with IDRAC which was getting a release in a similar timeframe. I am not sure if BIOS compatibility for the iDRAC is mentioned in any iDRAC release notes or readme. It is worth searching it though.

    Thanks
