Fixes & Enhancements

00.20.45.00.06.14.10.00: Initial Release.

00.20.46.00.06.14.10.00: This Firmware fix will eliminate a remote possibility where a controller would not be detected during POST and therefore would not allow the system to boot. This issue would only be seen on a system after a cold boot. A warm reboot will typically address the issue.

Note: If the Dell Update Package has been used to update the F/W two reboots may be required.
