When you update BIOS all setting will be retained. importing the SCP file is only required if configuration get changed after BIOS update which is most unlikely. If you want to import SCP you can wait complete system boot after BIOS update to ensure new inventory is taken by iDRAC. After complete boot you can import the SCP file to iDRAC
Hi guys, not so sure about the methods to backup R740 poweredge server's bios settings(in iDRAC9). i would like to update bios version and apply the currently settings to the new bios, however, i only found "backing up server profile"instructions from here, not sure about what this function indicates.   does anyone know? 
backup bios settings for R740 via iDRAC9?
