BIOS/IDRAC/Firmware Compatibility Lists?

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can help me find a interoperability matrix between idrac, bios and any other fw types? I'm hoping to find a document that shows compatibility between iDRAC firmware updates and BIOS levels at the very least. 

I was told the iDRAC firmware update wouldn't proceed if it was applied to a BIOS that wouldn't support it.

 

What is the process the iDRAC firmware update uses to ensure it's applied to a supported bios?

    I am not aware of this type of validation. If there is a specific system or update method that states this check then please reference it and I can look into it.

    We have interoperability guides/matrixes for some of our OpenManage products. I'm not aware of a hardware matrix for our servers. You can check the support page of the system you are using. If this type of document exists it would be on that page. Also, any required updates or requirements of a firmware or BIOS update should be mentioned in the release notes or important notes of the update.
