So I purchased R710, it turned out that had very old bios, firmwares etc.
I decided to install:
BIOS
iDRAC
USC
After reboot, USC stopped working, bios not showing number, LCD not working, basically it turned server into c*. iDRAC console of course is not working
What to do with it ? I downloaded newest firmwares from Dell website (only because USC had no "Platforms Update" option).
I'm very angry as I have few other servers from HP and had no issues at all with updating, but what I've read is this:
Dell released bios which can corrupt your motherboard if your bios is too old (lazy and poor developers), there is no other way but buy new motherboard.
Is it true ? I've tried to install new BIOS and firmwares one more time, but no luck, I've tried install BIOS from DOS but of course BIOS wasn't recognized and I had no chance to update it.
Is there any other walk around or should I just sell this and go with real servers from HP ?
