Update Intel 7265 or 8260 wireless driver to resolve network connectivity issues.

Linux-based Dell Update Packages (DUPs) for Intel Network cards on firmware family 24.0.0 may display the message "Requires Power Cycle for activating the updated firmware."

This article provides a high‑level guide to downloading vendor‑specific firmware and drivers for common PowerEdge NICs such as NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Intel. These processes complement Dell Update Packages (DUPs) and are used when vendor‑specific firmware or drivers are required beyond Dell’s updates.

On PowerEdge 17G servers with Intel Ethernet E825 network interface card (NIC), performing simultaneous changes to SR-IOV settings and port configuration in the Host Interface Infrastructure (HII) results in a critical and warning error messages. This issue occurs during configuration changes in the system BIOS.

This article provides information about an issue seen when PXE booting from the Intel X710 NIC when LLDP is enabled.

SFP+ ports down during "Initializing Firmware Interface...." and the SFP+ ports LEDs are all OFF.

When Dell Intel E810-CQDA2 part number 85F8F or DWNRF is used with FR1 transceiver part number PJ62G, it cannot link up. The maximum power consumption of the transceiver Dell Part Number (DPN) PJ62G is 4W, which exceeds the NIC device's power supply limit of 3.5W.

Dell XR4510C customers may report the iDRAC failed path does not fail over to other Lan On Motherboard (LOM) ports as expected.

This article provides information about the Intel X550 Option ROM initialization error during POST on the PowerEdge XE7440.

Exporting a device template from OpenManage Enterprise fails with the message: "An unknown error has occurred. Please try again."

If the Intel Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU) is rebooted through the Infrastructure Management Controller (IMC), the entire server reboots.

Following the initial setup, the Intel Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU) is unable to ping networks beyond its local network.

Dell NIC Partitioning (NPAR) provides the capability to divide a NIC port into multiple PCI functions with flexible bandwidth capacity allocation. PCI functions are called partitions.

This article shows the steps to measure the bandwidth for Intel E810 100G PCIe Network adapters using iPerf.

This article explains when Switch Embedded Teaming (SET) is used on a Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V host with Intel i350-based Network Interface Cards (NICs). If Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) is enabled, the server may blue-screen with a STOP 0x7E error (SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED).

Customers experienced interface flapping issues with their Intel X710 NIC and PKR0R transceiver on SONiC 4.4.0 switches.

An error occurs when attempting to apply default settings to a Dell Intel E810-2C Ethernet Adapter. These adapters are configured with Permit Total Port Shutdown enabled. Both ports have Port Option set to 4x25.

The Intel E823-C network interface card (NIC) may not be detected after a warm reboot while installed in XR4510c.

After a cold boot of the server, the Intel IPU E2100-CCQDA2 may present PR8 entries in the Lifecycle log.

During the simultaneous update of the BIOS and Broadcom network firmware, using the Intel E810 for iDRAC communication, the link is dropped and does not recover.

Dell Intel E810-C adapters do not support disabling the Virtual Machine Device Queue (VMDQ) loopback feature using "Intnetcli" tool.
