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.
