Dell PowerEdge R430 Firmware Stages
Good Morning,
I have a legacy R430 that is well out of support and is in need of both BIOS and iDRAC updates. The current firmware versions are as follows:
| FIRMWARE | CURRENT | PLANNED |
| iDRAC | 2.70.70.70 | 2.85.85.85 |
| BIOS | 2.11.0 | 2.18.2 |
What I am looking to find out is if these are both straight shots or do they need to be staged? I am hoping someone here will be able to answer this. Thanks in advance!

Hello kellyMHC,
From your current version you can step up:
First:
BIOS 2.13.0
https://dell.to/46UqtnW
iDRAC 2.81.81.81
https://dell.to/41liTSw
Second:
BIOS 2.18.2
https://dell.to/479RJzj
iDRAC 2.85.85.85
https://dell.to/3RALK1N
I recommend update BIOS first and reboot to apply then do the iDRAC update on each step.

@Dell -Charles R Thank you for responding. I will take these steps specifically. Probably not till the new year. But thank you again.
