It sounds like Dell’s iDRAC somehow. (Not that it is, but iDRAC had me scared more often than not)

The time iDrac annoyed me the most is when I bricked a server trying to update it.

I made the terrible mistake of jumping too far between versions and the update broke iDrac and thus the server. There was no warning on Dell's website nor any when I applied the update. I only found out what happened after some googling where I found the upgrade path I should have taken.

This is just terrible quality control and software engineering.
