NVIDIA has updated the signing certificate for its UEFI network driver from Microsoft UEFI CA 2011 to Microsoft UEFI CA 2023. PowerEdge 17G platforms already trust the CA 2023 certificate, but 15G/16G and earlier servers require a BIOS update released in December 2025. Systems without this updated certificate support may fail to initialize the NIC UEFI driver when Secure Boot is enabled.

PowerEdge servers do not support operating system installation, or boot from direct CPU‑attached NVMe SSD drives if the metadata format size is not set to 0.

PowerEdge: Dell service support for end of industry production of 2.5" 15k RPM SAS hard drives

Dell Technologies advises against downgrading Hard Drive or SSD firmware, except in validated scenarios, due to unpredictable results and version reporting issues.

The "Predictive failure reported for disk x" error continues to be logged every 24 hours, even after the identified drive has been replaced. The issue only affects drives connected to PERC Controllers in RAID configuration.

During Windows Server 2025 installation by iDRAC virtual media, a disk with size 0 B is displayed on the drive selection page.

Leveraging the 'Reboot Required' filter and selecting all items in this filtered view results in the 'make compliant' job applying all non-compliant firmware components. An unexpected reboot of the target is seen as components that do require a restart are deployed to the target. The issue is only seen if selecting all objects and using the 'Reboot Required' filter. All other filters work as designed.

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.

Dust or chemical contamination at the endface of a fiber optic LC connector or transceiver module impedes signaling. Dell engineering teams have verified cases in which a fully functional port appears to be a bad port because dirty optical connectors manifest as a port failing loop testing with acceptable power measurement levels. Cable connectors should be cleaned and when stored must be protected from dust particle or chemical contamination.

PowerEdge T160, R260, T360, R360: Ubuntu 22.04.1 and 22.04.2 are not validated and may cause an out-of-memory error.
