How is data input to this memory?
lifecycle log is automatically updated by the iDRAC as various system component
firmware, hardware, and software versions are changed.
Module Using TPM-enabled operating systems
BIOS control only with input such as BIOS F2 menu user configuration settings (e.g.,
boot order)
Processor
Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program
which is executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable
(DRMK, USC, OS DUPs utility support) containing the firmware file and the loader.
Backplane loaded with bad firmware will not provide backplane and HDD status.
Either read-only license key or OS control copies
PSU Microcontroller
Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program
which is executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable
(Unified Server Configurator) containing the firmware file and the loader. PSUs
loaded with bad firmware will not provide PSU functional behavior and result in PSU
system faults.
PDB Microcontroller N/A
Config Data Storage firmware controls this data
Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program
which is executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable
(DUPs, Unified Server Configurator) containing the firmware file and the loader.
Storage adapters loaded with bad firmware will not provide storage controller
behavior.
PERC Cache RAM
Embedded storage firmware controls the use of storage cache data.
