IDRAC and BIOS version

Hello,

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000142454/how-to-update-the-bios-version-of-a-dell-server-using-efi-file-12g-13g-14g

I would like to make an update to the BIOS version, however when the BIOS version is updated, does it also update the IDRAC version?

If not, what are the steps to update the IDRAC separately. The dell server is a R640.

Thanks.

Updating BIOS will not update iDRAC. You need to separately update iDRAC FW. You can refer below link on updating iDRAC and BIOS FW using iDRAC itself
