Dell EMC Server PowerEdge BIOS R440/R540/T440 Version 2.2.9

Fixes
- Unable to view the log data in the Lifecycle Log files for a few error conditions in the Lifecycle
Controller Pre-OS Utility (F10). The following message is displayed-- Unable to display Lifecycle Log.
- The TPM PCR1 value is changed after a hardware component is added or removed.
- Machine check that decodes to MC0 (instruction fetch, internal error) with the last bytes of the Status value being F0150. The MCE can also be a combination of MC0 along with MC3 (Internal timer, 3- strike Watchdog), or even MC0, MC3, and MC4 (copy of MC3). Fix is included in the Processor Microcode to version 0x5A for Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family.
- When the boot mode=BIOS and the USB drive is a part of the HDD list: The ipmitool -I -H -U -
P chassis bootdev disk options=persistent IPMI command run to modify the boot sequence also modifies the HDD sequence.
- When booting from an FCOE by using a QLogic 41262 CNA adapter, the BIOS RSoD(Red Screen On Display) may be displayed after applying the server template during boot.
- When changing the BIOS settings by clicking Configuration Server Configuration Profile on the
iDRAC GUI, updated the system behavior to complete both the following tasks by running a single job
(single SCP file):
- Change the boot mode from BIOS to UEFI
- Change the UEFI network settings
- Secure Boot variables were being measured twice (SecureBoot, PK, KEK, db, and dbx) for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 version.
- When a BOSS card is installed, a bus fatal error and/or PCIe training error may be reported.
- Power button on the right control panel does not appear to immediately power on a server.
- Microsoft Windows Installer and Windows Boot Loader may fail to start.
- To correctly set the Model-Specific Registers (MSRs) and activate the CPU Turbo Boost feature, the
number of Turbo Boost-enabled core per processor is fixed in the Setup menu.
- Issues that were not reported by a Dell EMC customer at the time of current release.

version 1.7.1.
- Updated the Intel Management Engine firmware to version 04.01.04.256
- Updated the HPC (High Performance Computing) Workload Profile.
- Added BIOS setting for Intel Adaptive Double DRAM Device Correction (ADDDC) in the BIOS Settings menu.
- In the BIOS Settings menu, added BIOS setting for the "Intel SST (Speed Select Technology) Performance Profile" feature.
- Added support for the HTTP Delete Method.
