How is data input to this memory?
iDRAC OS: Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader
program which is executed by booting up the system from a floppy or OS-based
executable containing the firmware file and the loader. System loaded without a good
iDRAC firmware image yields a non-functional iDRAC. Managed Services Repository:
Various partitions are loaded via vendor provided firmware file and loader program just
like iDRAC OS.
System OS
Factory load only.
BIOS only
Embedded iDRAC OS for 108MB and 8MB for VGA frame buffer
Factory and iDRAC embedded OS
Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which
is executed by booting up the system from a floppy or OS-based executable or out-of-
band firmware updates across the management network. Bad contents yield the iDRAC
inoperable and are unrecoverable in the customer environment. Note the lifecycle log is
automatically updated by the iDRAC as various system components FW, HW and SW
versions are changed.
Using TPM Enabled operating systems
BIOS control only via input such as BIOS F2 menu user configuration settings (such as
boot order)
Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which
is executed by booting up the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (DRMK,
USC, OS DUPs utility support) containing the firmware file and the loader. Backplane
loaded with bad firmware will not provide backplane and HDD status.
Either read-only license key or OS-controlled copies
Factory load, OS run time usage and OS updates and configuration changes.
