This article provides guidance for Dell PowerEdge servers requiring remediation for the Microsoft Secure Boot certificate expiration (June 2026). It applies to UEFI-based systems with Secure Boot enabled and older Secure Boot certificates affected by the Microsoft Secure Boot certificate expiration (June 2026). The operating system primarily manages Secure Boot certificate updates, and customers should ensure they update their systems using supported Microsoft update mechanisms. It applies to Windows Server operating systems affected by this change, as defined by Microsoft, running on physical systems with customer-managed firmware and Secure Boot configuration. It does not apply to cloud platforms or appliances where the provider manages firmware and Secure Boot keys, such as Microsoft Azure, AX, or APEX-Managed Cloud. Systems already running BIOS versions that include the updated Secure Boot certificates may not require this procedure.

PowerEdge connected Dell NVMe SSDs with the Limited Retry (LR) bit set may experience an increase in failures due to elevated media and data‑integrity error rates.

PowerEdge 16G BOSS N1; logs VLT0204 (BOSS CPLD voltage out of range) or VLT0205 on PowerEdge T160/R360/T360/R260 platforms running Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) version 1.4.0. PowerEdge R660 and R760 platforms running CPLD versions v1.2.6 will not log any voltage out of range warnings in the LC or SEL logs.

Dell Micron 7450 and 7500 Non-Volatile Memory Express solid state drives may encounter drive initialization failure due to a firmware issue, resulting in the solid state drives being unrecoverable.

Micron 7450 NVMe drive is not recognized by Nutanix Prism after drive is hotplug inserted.

PowerEdge servers crash with PCIe fatal errors while updating Kioxia CM6 NVMe drive firmware.

CPUs can be perceived to be hot while server is idle.

When a PS1010 or PS1030 NVMe SSD is installed, a PSOD may occur during production or gathering Operating System (OS) logs.

Seagate Skybolt and SkyboltServoBP drive fails with medium format corrupted errors.

Updating 16G PowerEdge Server BIOS may result in Secure Boot database updates.

Cluster creation or expansion of an existing cluster fails if the minimum software versions are not met.

Dell Samsung Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) PM1653 and PM1655 solid state drives may report excessive Sense Key faults 0x3, 0x11, 0x0, or 0x4, 0x29, 0x4. These faults have the potential to cause unexpected drive issues.
