Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes
Fixed the issue where a performance impact of 3-5 percent was observed on the 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Family.
Enhancements
Updated the following:
- Intel processor and memory reference codes to UPLR1 (Unified Post Launch Release 1) OOB2.
- Intel processor microcode to version 0x5D2 for the 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Family.
Important Information
- It is expected to see the UEFI0074 message during the initial BIOS POST and in the Lifecycle Controller (LC) log when upgrading the BIOS from version 1.0.1 to 1.2.1 or later.
- If the system is equipped with an Intel Xeon CPU Max Series processor, please use the DUP file to update the BIOS through the operating system or the iDRAC GUI. Due to a CPU limitation, the BIOS cannot be updated using the .efi utility.
- Once the BIOS is upgraded to version 1.2.1, downgrade is allowed to version 1.2.0 or below if required.
