BIOS and iDrac9, Upgrade recommendations.
Hi Community.
I have a server PowerEdge R740 and need update the BIOS and iDrac9 only.
Source version: BIOS 2.13.3 and iDrac 5.10.10.00. -- Target version BIOS 2.18.2 and iDrac 7.00.00.00
Please help me whit the next questions for two cases, BIOS and iDrac.
The target versions are acumulatives and cover fixes and enhancements released in pre-target and post-source released versions ?
In which cases it is necessary to update release by release until reaching the newest one?
What do I update first, the BIOS or the iDrac?
Any document that you recommend as a technical reference.
Thanks in advanced for your help.

Hello, I meant to say update BIOS first before idrac,
Also when you upgrade to the fastest version, do not skip the middles and do it sequentially.
