Activating FlexAddress Plus

FlexAddress Plus is delivered on the FlexAddress Plus Secure Digital (SD) card along with the FlexAddress feature.

NOTE: The SD card labeled FlexAddress only contains FlexAddress and the card labeled FlexAddress Plus contains FlexAddress and FlexAddress Plus. The card must be inserted into the CMC to activate the feature.

The updates, which are listed in the table below include, BIOS, iDRAC, and CMC firmware. As long as FlexAddress is activated, you must apply these updates before you can use FlexAddress Plus. If these updates are not applied, only FlexAddress works and not FlexAddress Plus.
