7. Select the components that require an update, and then click Apply. The update process is initiated and the firmware update is completed. After restart, the system is ready to use. NOTE: The system does not restart if operating system driver packs, OS collector tool, or hardware diagnostics are updated. NOTE: When applying more than one update, the system may restart between updates. In this case, Lifecycle Controller restarts the server and automatically continues the update process. NOTE: iDRAC resets while updating iDRAC. If the iDRAC firmware update is interrupted for any reason, wait for up to 30 minutes before you attempt another firmware update. NOTE: After the CPLD firmware is updated on the modular servers, on the View Current Versions page, under Firmware Update, the firmware update date is displayed as 2000-01-01, regardless of the actual update date. The updated date and time are displayed based on the time zone that is configured on the server. NOTE: On a Dell PowerEdge server, if you use Lifecycle Controller to update the Intel Network Card firmware from version 15.0.xx to 16.5.xx or vice versa, reboot the server to view the updated firmware. NOTE: If you update the Intel Network Card firmware from version 14.5.x to 16.5.xx or vice versa on a Dell PowerEdge server by using Lifecycle Controller, the Firmware Rollback page may display the firmware version as 15.0.xx instead of 14.5.x . However, the Firmware Rollback page displays the version 14.5.x if you update the firmware by using the Intel Network firmware DUPs on the OS.
