Elite 7100 MT . Not able to update BIOS with SP56200. Last update OK with SP52755

When doing update with SP56200 I get " - Incorrect BIOS for the system.

I searched all of ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/ and can't find any other possible matches for a good BIOS update.

If the BIOS isn't updating then:
a| You've got the wrong BIOS.
b| The BIOS you're trying to update to is too far ahead and may cause a failure thus giving you this message or is simply another way of saying you need to update to a prior BIOS revision before you move onto the next in line.
c| HP have a knack for sometimes hosting files that aren't meant for that particular system.

Your link doesn't work.

Can you please specify the OS off which you'reworking off of since Windows 7 is the maximum supported Microsoft OS? Might want to include your unit's SKU to help narrow down the drivers/BIOS files. By any chance is this the unit in question?

This link is for version 5.19. If the system is running fine as is then might want to forgo the BIOS update.
