These messages can be safely ignored. However, to prevent the
messages from being logged, you can uninstall the R2 IPMI driver
before performing the firmware upgrade operation using the command
"rundll32 ipmisetp.dll, RemoveTheDevice" from a command prompt.
After the firmware flash is complete, you can install the driver
again by executing the command "rundll32 ipmisetp.dll,
AddTheDevice". On PowerEdge x9xx servers, the driver can be
re-installed by performing a "Scan for hardware changes" in the
Device Manager.
For more information on this issue, including its cause,
see the Microsoft KB article number 912596.

with Windows operating system, the following message might
be displayed: “Windows has finished installing new devices.
The software that supports your device requires that you restart
your computer. You must restart your computer before the new
settings will take effect. Do you want to restart your
computer now?”
Select “No” to ignore this message. This message is due to the
creation of a temporary USB device used for storing the firmware
