This page lists the specific configurations for which the server vendor has submitted certification test results to VMware, including BIOS version.
These are not the only supported or recommended configurations. Best practice is generally to use the latest BIOS version available for the server, even if it is newer than listed here. For further details about BIOS, server product configurations, and best practices, please contact the server vendor.
