* 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 iDRAC is updated from version 1.30.30 or later, a system restart is not necessary. However,

firmware versions of iDRAC earlier than 1.30.30 require a system restart when applied by using the out-

of-band interfaces.

NOTE: Configuration changes and firmware updates that are made within the operating system may

not reflect properly in the inventory until you perform a server restart.
