Hello [NAME],   The server is really out of date, trying to update it from its current version directly to the latest one can cause issues.    When starting firmware version is too old is much better to update step by step. Instead of updating from a very old to the latest firmware version.   Check the downloads site and look for the oldest bios version available. For a R610 is the 6.1.0: [URL]   Regards.
Hello,i bought a dell poweredge r610 server. The bios firmware is very old and I get an error when I try to upgrade it. The current version is version 2.1.15. The version I want to upgrade is 6.6.0 version. I tried this on Windows, I ran the 6.6.0 bios update file. After waiting for a while, the warning came that instead of 2.1.15, the 6.6.0 upgrade would be processed and the server would be restarted. I pressed yes and waited for a while, and after waiting a few minutes on the black screen, the update failed. The server continues to boot with 2.1.15 firmware again. I tried this update on linux operating systems but I get the same error. I have been dealing with this problem for 10 days. Please help me to solve this problem. Thank you.
