Need hep with a Donated r530
Greetings,
I am employed by a small non-profit that refurbishes/recycles 'older' computer hardware. Recently, we received a R530 server that I need to update the firmware on. I downloaded the exe files for the bios and the idrac but could not access updates for any of the controllers/storage devices. I am asking here, because I installed Proxmox 8.4.x and the machine hangs right after attempting to activate the Raid Controller. What are my options?
Regards,
T. Golightly

Hello, thanks for choosing Dell.
In this case you can use iDRAC for firmware updates.
