Using the DRAC/MC Web-based Firmware Update Interface
NOTICE:
To support redundant DRAC/MC operation, both modules must have firmware version 1.3 or later. Mixing
DRAC/MC modules with firmware versions earlier than 1.3 may cause the enclosure to power down I/O
modules in bays I/O 3 and I/O 4 without user intervention.
NOTICE:
version 1.1.1 before installing the latest version (1.3 or later). Upgrading firmware from version 1.0 directly
