I think that the e2-7.13.11.0 will work.<br>

Yeah, I was looking into this also, there is the 7.13.1.0 firmware<br>

A quick starting point might be to try adding the newer firmware load <br>
into the /pxeboot/rel-20.06/installer-intel-x86-64-initrd_1.0 image on <br>
Controller-0. If I remember your trying to use this for Controller-1.<br>
<br>
We would welcome a general change that could add specified <br>
modules/firmware to the initrd.img based on what Don suggested above.<br>
<br>
Sau!<br>
