I have a R410 (I bought used for personal use) where DSU has wanted to
downgrade the LifeCycle Controller from 1.7.5.4 to 1.6.5.12 for a long
time now.  I have no idea why; 1.7.5.4 is the current version on the
website and was released almost 2 years ago.

Oddly, DSU also wants to "upgrade" the 10gig NIC firmware.  The NIC is
not even a Dell (just uses the same Intel 82599 chip); it wants to go
from 0.0.0 to 16.5.20.
