firmware version is FLVDL06, the firmware inventory displays DL06.
NOTE: On the Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s servers, the naming convention of the CMC version displayed in the iDRAC GUI
differs from the version displayed on the CMC GUI. However, the version remains the same.
When you replace any hardware component or update the firmware versions, make sure to enable and run the Collect System
Inventory on Reboot (CSIOR) option to collect the system inventory on reboot. After a few minutes, log in to iDRAC, and
navigate to the System Inventory page to view the details. It may take up to 5 minutes for the information to be available
depending on the hardware installed on the server.
NOTE: CSIOR option is enabled by default.
NOTE: Configuration changes and firmware updates that are made within the operating system may not reflect properly in
the inventory until you perform a server restart.
