Hi everyone,
I’m working on a Dell PowerEdge R340 (Service Tag: JTMLKB2).
The iDRAC is bricked — system hangs at “iDRAC initializing,” fans at 100%, and no VGA output.
The cause is a bad firmware flash to the iDRAC SPI.
Board details:
- Model: Dell PowerEdge R340 (14G)
- iDRAC version: iDRAC9
- Flash chip: Winbond 25Q032 (32 Mbit / 4 MB)
- Location: iDRAC EEPROM near the BMC (ASPEED AST chip)
- Tool used: CH341A programmer
What I need:
- A clean, working 4 MB `.bin` dump of the 25Q032 from another R340...
