Component update order WARNING: Read the update instructions before implementing the update procedure. Collate the current versions of the MX7000 components in your environment and note any special instructions that may be called out in the update procedure. Contact Dell support for assistance with upgrading the MX7000 components as it is a complex procedure. It is recommended that you update all components within a scheduled single maintenance window. Before proceeding with the update, review and resolve any recurring port alerts that are reported on the OME-Modular Alerts page. NOTE: The message ID for an operational port is NINT0001 and that for a not operational port, NINT0002. Update the components in the following order: 1. iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller using OME-Modular 2. PowerEdge MX740c BIOS and PowerEdge MX840c Server BIOS 3. Update the device adapter operating system drivers followed by the device adapter firmware. Adapters-QLogic 27XX series Fibre Channel, QLogic 26XX series Fibre Channel, QLogic 41xxx series, Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx Ethernet Adapter Firmware, Intel X710, XXV710, and XL710, Emulex Fibre Channel NOTE: Compute sled updates have no dependencies and can be updated directly to their corresponding OME-Modular 1.20.10 baseline versions identified in Table 2, in updating MX7000 components using OME-Modular 1.20.10. 4.
