NOTE:
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.
