Certain Dell qualified Seagate Exos X24 SAS drives have undergone a hardware revision. As a result, replacement drives may ship with firmware revisions ending in A (SWSA, SYSA, or SUSA), while existing drives may be running firmware revisions ending in 9 (SWS9, SYS9, or SUS9).
This behavior is expected and supported. The firmware difference reflects a hardware revision and does not indicate a problem with the drive, a firmware mismatch, or a requirement to update existing drives.
Key Point: Customers do not need to update existing SxS9 drives to SxSA firmware. SxS9 firmware remains the correct firmware family for original hardware revisions.

Do not upgrade to Nuvoton NPCT7xx TPM firmware version 7.2.4.0 without first reviewing your TPM key usage.
Firmware version 7.2.4.0 introduces a change to the ECC key derivation process that renders externally stored ECC child keys created on version 7.2.3.1 or earlier unusable. Environments that rely on these keys must unbind and re-provision them before performing the firmware update, or key access may be permanently lost.
RSA keys are not affected.
Due to the risk of ECC key incompatibility, the TPM firmware DUP packages have been removed from the platform catalog to prevent unintended upgrades. Administrators should complete any required ECC key remediation before updating TPM firmware.
