NOTE: If the iDRAC firmware update is interrupted for any reason, wait for up to 30 minutes
before you attempt another firmware update.
NOTE: Do not perform an AC power cycle during the update process. However, if the system is
turned off before the update process is complete, a message Lifecycle Controller update
required may be displayed during Power-On Self-Test (POST). In such cases, use the LC Repair

Guide.
