The upshot: does anyone here have a clue as to whether I can flash update the BIOS with the latest update, or whether I actually have to do the older one first?
I do not have experience with the DL580G5 however we do have several DL360G5 and DL380G5 units and the firmware upgrade should be a piece of cake:
Download the Firmware CD.
Burn it to disk.
Boot from the CD.
Well, more like create a bootable flash drive and copy the .exe to it - there doesn't seem to be *anything* other than the damn .exe.
- Answer a few questions and let it do its thing.
Is that like the Dell, where it "inventories the system", then *tells* you if it's for this hardware, and that it's newer (or not) than what's there?
- Bobs your uncle you are done.
It should not matter what the current firmware is.
THAT is what I was hoping for. Thank you, very much.
