ISSUE:

BIOS update error - "The update package is invalid for current system."

1)  FAILED  to update directly from Bios Ver 1.10.2 to Ver 1.14.0.01 (Failed with above error - I then decided to update the BIOS with previous updates)

(Filename:  BIOS_PYCXX_WN64_1.14.0_01.exe from the DELL PowerVault NX3100 support page - it was listed under the name "Dell Server BIOS PowerEdge R510 Version 1.14.0"  Popular/Urgent)

===============

Our configuration:  PowerVault NX3100 running Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Standard (going to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 - then attempt upgrading to Windows Server 2019) 

2)  Updated BIOS successfully to Ver 1.11.0  -->>  Filename:  BIOS_99YRG_WN32_1.11.0.exe from DELL PowerVault NX3100 Support Page

3)  Failed (with above error)  BIOS update to Ver 1.12  -->>  Filename:  BIOS_DJ0VY_WN64_1.12.0.exe from DELL 

4)  BIOS Ver 1.12; 1.13; & 1.14 update files are from the R510 Support page - 

 

Any suggestions?   I would like to update the BIOS to Ver 1.14 in preparation to upgrade the OS to Win Server 2012 R2.

 

Thank you,
