HP firmware

HP regularly release updated version of their firmware, I have created this pdf and this excel spreadsheet which you can download, but do double check the information with the HP support site and test the firmware in your environment. 

As an example on the HP DL380G2 and above, there is a minimum supported system firmware dated 2004 as this resolved a known issue with uncorrectable memory errors .  I’ve started off with HP servers, simply because I am more familiar with them, then I will move on to the other vendors.

Below, I’ve written the server model with the date of the online firmware that is downloadable on the HP site, the latest supported firmware.  I intend on checking this once a month, but do check the HP site as well:
