R2208WTFZSR. BIOS update. Need help.

[Ex-Machine]

Hello! Please help me. I am trying to figure out how to install the BIOS correctly.

                                                                                BRANCHES.

In pictures 01 and 02 my version of the BIOS.

     On the site, in the files section, I see two update branches:

1) Intel® Server Board S2600WF Family BIOS and Firmware Update Package for UEFI;

2) Intel® Server Board S2600WF Family BIOS and Firmware Update for Intel® One Boot Flash Update (Intel® OFU) Utility and WinPE*.

First question:

Do I need to install both branches?

---------------------------------------

                                                                                VERSIONS.

Each branch has different versions in ascending order.

My version is 02.01.1009

I don't see a similar version on the site. I looked by date and created myself a list of versions(pic. 03, 04).

1) For the s_fup branch. I started with version 02.01.0009. She has my version in the requirements.

2) For the EFI branch, I started with version 02.01.0010, they also require my version.

Second question:

Did I understand correctly that version 02.01.1009 is equal to version 02.01.0009?

Third question:

if everything is correct, should I install the version in ascending order?

Fourth question:

should I install both branches? If so, what is the order of installing them? Which branch should I install first?

Hi SergioS. Thanks for the answer. I have some questions.

"You may want to update your BIOS from version 02.01.1009 to 02.01.1010, then version 02.01.1011 and finally install the latest version"

I have version 02.01.1009. The site offers 02.01.0010. Requirement 02.01.0009. My version differs from the requirement by one. Second question: you gave a link for updating efi. I don't need the second branch at all?
