*Update to operating system 10.5.0.9 and then to 10.5.1.9 or 10.5.2.6. Run the X.509v3 certificate upgrade script before

upgrading any OS versions. For more details see, OS10 firmware update matrix.

**Update using individual DUP or obtain from the Latest component firmware versions on Dell.com catalog.

***Update restrictions apply. For more information, see OS10 firmware update matrix.

Before updating MX7000, check the PSU version. If the PSU version is 00.36.6B, then update the PSU. For details, see https://

www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=5tc17&oscode=naa&productcode=poweredge-mx7000.

NOTE:

Updating the MXG610s FC IOM is not supported from the OME-Modular user interface. Use the Brocade interface

on the IOM.

NOTE: Updating MX9116n or MX5108n using catalog method is not supported for OME-M versions 1.20.10 and lower. It is

supported from 1.30.00 onwards.

NOTE: As these update instructions include updates to various components of the solution, there is a possibility of traffic

impact to existing workloads. It is recommended that the updates are applied only during a regular single maintenance

window.
