Hello all. We have a Dell R340 RDP server that is currently on an older bios. I would like to update this but I’m not sure if we need to do it in increments or we can go straight to the newest version. Our current bios is 2.1.6 and we would need to go to the current 2.12.2. Also, I’m not sure if we should update Dirac/LC at the same time? We do not use it, so if I do not update the idrac will this effect the server operation?
R340 Bios update 2.12.2
