Bios Update On Server X3650 Mt7979.
I am trying to update the BIOS with version 1.19 of the equipment described above (previously it had 1.03), after passing it the corresponding parameters it kept presenting this message " Saving current level of POST/BIOS" after several hours it is still there and there is no progress in the process, why could it be taking so long?
