Reference Guide

Verify hardware requirements
Dell EMC hardware payload includes BIOS, iDRAC, backplane, network card, BOSS, and HBA support.
NOTE: The firmware versions that are listed in the LCM payload or documentation may be lower than the firmware that is
delivered from the Dell EMC factory due to the date of shipment versus date of LCM block release. Effectively, the
documented firmware and driver versions are the minimal supported versions and are not a baseline for support under
Nutanix. The LCM process itself implements a Greater or Equal (GEQ) operator to ensure that firmware is not downgraded
or reinstalled using the LCM process.
NOTE: Verification of updates is performed with updates from n-1 and n-2 to current LCM release.
This section provides information about minimum recommended software, firmware, and versions for the Dell EMC XC Series
and Core Hyper-Converged Appliance with LCM.
