I also didn't know if there were any dependencies involved, with other component versions (other things also needing to be updated, in a particular order, because of the change in major version # of the iDRAC). I appreciate the tip though! If we find any other systems that have iDRAC that's in the 1.x series and the system isn't as critical, I may give the individual .BIN update a try.
