PDF

Firmware and driver update

  1. CMC server component update does not support the iDRAC9 firmware packages. Use iDRAC GUI, RACADM interface, or OpenManage Enterprise Modular to perform any out-of-band updates of iDRAC9 firmware.
  2. After an iDRAC reset or firmware update operation, the ServerPoweredOnTime—a property in RACADM and WSMan—may not be populated until the host server is restarted.
  3. Some of the supported components may not be displayed on the Firmware Update > View Current Versions page. To update this list, restart the system.
  4. If the iDRAC firmware update is interrupted, you may have to wait up to 30 minutes before attempting another firmware update.
  5. Firmware update is supported only for LAN on Motherboards (LoM), Network Daughter Cards (NDC), and network adapters from Broadcom, QLogic, and Intel, and some of the QLogic and Emulex fiber channel cards. For the list of supported fiber channel cards, see the Lifecycle Controller User's Guide available at https://www.dell.com/idracmanuals..
  6. After the CPLD firmware is updated on modular systems, the firmware update date is displayed as 2000-01-01 on the View Current Versions page. The update date and time is displayed according to the time zone configured on the server.
  7. On some modular systems, after a firmware update, the Lifecycle Log displays the timestamp as 1999-12-31 instead of the date on which the firmware update was performed.
  8. It is not recommended to perform CPLD update along with other updates. If a CPLD update is uploaded and updated along with other updates using iDRAC web interface, CPLD update completes successfully but the other updates do not take effect. To complete the iDRAC updates, reinitiate the updates.
