Fixes & Enhancements
Improved DDR4 Memory settings to prevent critical DDR4 memory errors that may result in controller hang conditions, including Single Bit Errors (SBE) and Multi Bit Errors (MBE).
Important Note: After the firmware update, it is crucial to perform a complete graceful shutdown to power off the system, followed by a power on to enable the new memory settings.
A warm reboot will NOT activate the updated settings.
If iDrac/LC is used to perform the update, a graceful shutdown to power off after the update is still required.

Important Information
Enablement inbox drivers have been added to some OSes for initial launch of PERC12 controllers. These drivers are for OS install only and have limited performance and controller management functionality. Management Applications such as PERCCLI2 and Open Manage will not work with these drivers. Enablement drivers can be identified with version numbers "0.255.xxx.xxx" or "3.xxx.xxx.xxx". Driver version "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" should be installed as soon as possible or applied during OS install to enable full performance and management functionality of PERC12 controllers.
The enablement driver "3.0.71.90" for Windows 2022 has known issues with Multi-CPU (2/4 CPU) and large core count CPU configurations that can cause OS to crash when loading the driver. It is recommended to install the latest "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" driver during OS install or as soon as possible after the install. If facing issues with crashes during OS installation it is recommended to disable Logical Processors and reduce CPU core count to 16 or less cores per CPU from the HII BIOS/UEFI settings menu. After installing the latest "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" PERC driver these settings can be set back to default. Additionally, running PERCCLI2 or Open Manage with inbox "3.0.71.90" driver can cause OS to crash. Please install "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" driver before using these management applications In Windows 2022.
