Important Information
An Intel Management Engine related issue that caused the BIOS update to fail is resolved in this BIOS 1.3.7 version.
- This included remedy becomes effective only after the device is updated with this BIOS 1.3.7 version.
Warning: Running an iDRAC RACADM power cycle command while running an operating system causes an ungraceful shutdown.
- To work around this issue, AC power cycle the system or run the iDRAC RACADM power cycle command before updating the BIOS.
- The first attempt to upgrade to this 1.3.7 version will fail, but the second attempt will pass if done within 24 days after the first attempt.
