Re: PE R620, DSU and USB issue

Thank you. This fixed this issue!

A second issue has appeared. We have multiple R610's with 48GB of RAM 
each. When I try to update them I get the error:

*Enough contiguous physical memory is not available to perform the BIOS 
update running under**
**  this Operating System. Reboot and try again.*

(See below.) Any ideas how to fix this? 48GB should be enough memory and 
the system is quiescent with nothing running. It does say something 
about*"contiguous physical memory", *but I am not sure how to address 
that issue.

Regards,
       - Henrik*
