Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes
- Updated a few BIOS Setup help messages.
- Fixed a potential BIOS Recovery failure.
- Issues that were not reported by the Dell EMC customers at the time of current release.
Enhancements
- Updated the "Processor and Memory Reference Code" to 0595.D.04.
- Added the option to enable or disable Correctable Error Logging in the Memory Settings of the System BIOS Settings.
- Enhanced the Lifecycle error messages due to correctable memory errors. You will need to upgrade both the BIOS and iDRAC firmware to make sure that the new messages display correctly in the Lifecycle logs.
- Changed the default setting of Native tRFC Timing for 16 Gb DIMMs to Enabled.
- In some cases, the memory space-indicated by OS as reserved for hardware-is reduced.
Important Information
When you try updating a BIOS version either under OS (by using an Update Package (DUP)) or under UEFI Shell (a .efi file), the system may take more time to complete the BIOS update process (in case of a system that has 14 TB memory, it takes around 30 minutes to complete the BIOS update process under Windows Server 2016). There are two ways to work around this issue:
- Use an out-of-band BIOS update method--iDRAC GUI or RACADM CLI command.
- Physically reduce the memory capacity by removing a few DIMMs (and thus improve the speed of the BIOS update process), and then try again.
