TPM firmware update is supported from 5.00.00.00 release onwards and this action is staged. Downgrading (rollback) or
reinstalling the same firmware version is not supported.
TPM does not support rollback.
When stacking TPM firmware update with BIOS update (unsupported TPM version), TPM update fails.
Once iDRAC is flashed or TPM is inserted, first-time host reboot with POST completion is required to fetch the TPM details from
BIOS and detect TPM in software inventory.
Latest BIOS version is needed for TPM firmware updates to be supported using iDRAC interfaces. Recommended to update BIOS
first before updating iDRAC.
TPM must be enabled in BIOS first before you can perform firmware update using iDRAC interfaces.
NOTE: For details of supported components for MX platform, see Table 13.

* Indicates that though a system restart is not required, iDRAC must be restarted to apply the updates. iDRAC communication and
monitoring may temporarily be interrupted.
When you check for updates, the version marked as Available does not always indicate that it is the latest version available. Before you
install the update, ensure that the version you choose to install is newer than the version currently installed. If you want to control the
version that iDRAC detects, create a custom repository using Dell Repository Manager (DRM) and configure iDRAC to use that repository
to check for updates.
Actualización del firmware mediante la interfaz web de iDRAC
Puede actualizar el firmware del dispositivo utilizando imágenes de firmware disponibles en el sistema local, desde un repositorio en un
recurso compartido de red (CIFS, NFS, HTTP o HTTPS) o desde FTP.
