Our PowerEdge T110 has been running flawlessly and everything was fine.
Earlier today, I was searching the Dell website and noticed that there was a security notice, and there was an "urgent" PowerEdge T110 BMC 1.92 Firmware update. (Critical Security Update BMC firmware 1.92, A00)

We downloaded the files from the Dell website here:

We selected the driver files we would like to download here:

The installation instructions seemed pretty simple:
Installation Instructions
1. Click Download Now to download the file.
2. When the File Download window appears, click Save to save the file to your hard drive.
Installation
1. Browse to the location where you downloaded the file and double-click the new file.
2. Read over the release information presented in the dialog window.
3. Download and install any prerequisites identified in the dialog window before proceeding.
4. Click the Install button.
5. Follow the remaining prompts to perform the update.
We followed the instructions, and then after the download completed, we ran the program/update package (on Windows Server 2012 R2), and it said that it completed successfully and the system needed to reboot.
After the system rebooted, the Dell splash screen (with BIOS version) comes back up then it shows the BMC version as 1.30.05 (not the 1.92 updated BMC version which supposedly was the update) and now the computer continuously reboots.
It seems that something went wrong with the BMC firmware update, the BMC firmware was not properly updated to 1.92, and instead our Dell PowerEdge T110 now just continuously reboots now.
Is this a bad firmware/security update? Any ideas as to how this can be fixed?
Is there a way to rollback the BMC firmware update back to the previous version? Or a way to fix/get the system to boot normally?
