Hello fawc,   Is this a Dell branded OCP? Can you provide picture of it showing the label so I can verify it is validated for the R450? Dell firmware and drivers are for Dell branded components. If it is a third party you may need to install an OS and update from within the OS according to manufacture guidelines.   Also I just to let you know, we don't have support for XCP-NG/CENTOS 7 on the R450. Your PowerEdge R450 supports these operating systems :  [URL]    
Hi, I just installed a new Intel E810-XXVDA2 OCP3.0 card in my PowerEdge R450. The card is recognised by the system, i.e. it is shown in the inventory, albeit without a firmware version, and under Device Settings in BIOS, but firmware update Network_Firmware_NVXX9_WN64_20.5.13_A00.EXE via iDRAC fails with: "Unable to complete the firmware update operation because the specified firmware image is for a component that is not in the target system inventory or the component is disabled for performing the update." LCC fails with code SUP0527 and tells me to get the latest Update Package from my service provider when I try the update there. Both iDRAC and BIOS are newest versions, the host system is an XCP-NG/CENTOS 7. I updated the card with the latest NVM version (3.20) from Intel. Any ideas of what I am missing/doing wrong?   Thanks!
Can't update firmware for Intel E810-XXDA2 on PE R450
