It is recommended to clear the job queue before initializing a server component rmware update. A list of all jobs on the servers is available
on the Lifecycle Controller Jobs page. This page enables deletion of single or multiple jobs or purging of all jobs on the server.
BIOS updates are specic to the model of the server. Sometimes, even though a single Network Interface Controller (NIC) device is
selected for rmware update on a server, the update may get applied to all the NIC devices on the server. This behavior is inherent in the
Lifecycle Controller functionality and particularly the programming contained with the Dell Update Package (DUP). Currently, Dell Update
Packages (DUP) that are less than 85 MB in size are supported.
