Recommended BIOS and firmware settings
This section describes the BIOS, firmware, and configuration settings included in the
Hardware ISO.
VxFlex OS ID module
The Hardware ISO runs a script that automatically flashes the ID module, as needed.
This action rebrands a PowerEdge server naming, and is intended to make it
compatible with the VxFlex Ready Node offering.
The VxFlex Ready Node ID module should be installed only on VxFlex Ready Node
servers. In the event of a system board failure, the Hardware ISO can assist with the
reinstallation of the ID module on the replacement system board.
BIOS and firmware
The Hardware ISO runs a script that automatically forces the server to install the
necessary firmware updates.
This firmware is consistent with the qualified Dell EMC VxFlex Ready Node Driver and
Firmware Matrix, located at:
l
PowerEdge 13G: https://support.emc.com/products/41077
l
VxFlex Ready Node R640/R740xd servers: https://support.emc.com/products/
42216
Some of the firmware listed in the table is dependent on the VxFlex Ready Node
hardware configuration. The Hardware ISO attempts to apply all firmware updates,
but only those updates that are compatible will be installed.
Applying settings using RACADM
The individual firmware files are also available on the Dell EMC Online Support site,
and can easily be installed using the following remote RACADM command:
racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> update –f <filename.exe>
