The Rollback page displays the devices for which you can rollback the firmware. You can view the
device name, associated devices, currently installed firmware version, and the available firmware
rollback version.
2. Select one or more devices for which you want to rollback the firmware.
3. Based on the selected devices, click Install and Reboot or Install Next Reboot. If only iDRAC is
selected, then click

displayed.

NOTE:
While in rollback mode, the rollback process continues in the background even if you
navigate away from this page.
If iDRAC configuration is reset to default values, the iDRAC IP address is reset to
192.168.0.120. You can access iDRAC using this IP, or reconfigure the iDRAC address using
local RACADM or F2 (remote RACADM requires network access).
An error message appears if:
You do not have Server Control privilege to rollback any firmware other than the iDRAC or
