PERC 6/E and PERC 6 / i Firmware download - it's actually the same file?

My Dell PowerEdge R710 has two PERC 6 / i and PERC 6/E installed. Both with RAID arrays active. I do an update of the system (BIOS, iDRAC, the life cycle, OpenManage and PERC firmware). I noticed that I have downloaded two files DUP of the firmware for the PERC 6 / i and 6/E and they seem to be identical in all but name.

Do both?

  • SAS - RAID_Firmware_3H5G8_WN32_6.3.3 - 0002_X00. EXE
  • SAS - RAID_Firmware_F96NR_WN32_6.3.3 - 0002_X00. EXE

It is advisable to run updates for internal/external controllers, because they "may" have differences in the firmware. The payload for updates in THIS version are the same... an update can update them both, but I suspect it will update the device it was intended.
