Error applying update to SAS Drive

I got the following error while running the .exe file to update the firmware on a hard drive in a PE R610 server:

The operation was not successful because the device buffer write has failed.  Run diagnostics to verify configuation and try again.

I initially tried installing this update via OpenManage Essentials but the task failed so I then went directly to the server needing the update, downloaded the update from Dell's site and ran the .exe file from the desktop of the server.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
