We have an old PowerEdge R710 that currently has BIOS v2.0.13 installed. We recently purchased 12 16 GB DIMMs to upgrade the memory to 192 GB. I read on a separate post that in order to get the bus speed to support 1333 MHz that the BIOS needed to be upgraded to v6.4.0
I am not sure if this is supported. I am not sure if I would need to install or upgrade other applications or drivers. We are planning on installing VMWare Hypervisor 5.1.
Can we upgrade BIOS straight from v2.0.13 to v6.4.0?
Any help appreciated! Thank you!
