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.

Firmware downgrade from version 50.5.1-2633 or greater to a lower version while in OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager mode is not supported.
