Important Information
The Dell Update Package for Intel Adapter Firmware (FW-DUP) Version 15.5.0 is an intermediary Firmware update package that is a part of FW DUP release 16.0.x.
If you currently have FW 14.5.x, do one of the following procedures to update FW:
- Option A: Run FW DUP 16.0.x on a supported OS and then perform an AC power cycle
- Option B: Lifecycle Controller Method
1. Run FW DUP 15.0.28 on a supported OS first and then perform an AC power cycle
2. Upgrade to 15.5.0 via Lifecycle Controller and reboot
3. Upgrade from 15.5.0 to 16.0.x via Lifecycle Controller
If you currently have FW 15.0.28, do one of the following procedures to update FW:

2. Upgrade from 15.5.0 to 16.0.x via Lifecycle Controller
The 15.5.0 FW-DUP is required when updating firmware in Lifecycle Controller. This sequence is referred to as a two-step firmware update process and is required due to an Option ROM mapping change in the firmware.
If you are upgrading the firmware from 14.5.x or later to version 16.0.x in Windows or Linux, then you do not need to apply 15.5.0 first.
Bootutil and PROSet for Windows Device Manager no longer support Option ROM and firmware update functionality.
NOTE: If you are updating the firmware from version 13.x, you must first update to version 14.0.12 before updating to firmware version 14.5.x or later.

- Intel(R) Ethernet 10G 4P X540/I350 rNDC with PBA number G14843-xxx or G59298-xxx requires an AC power cycle after firmware update to 16.0.x
============================
* To perform an AC power cycle, you must do the following:
============================
1. Shut down the system if it is powered up
2. Unplug all AC power cords from the system
3. Leave the AC power cords unplugged for 15 seconds to drain power from the system
