Requesting a Dell 2.3 Slic be added for
Windows Server 2012 R2.

I was able to use the Pheonix Tool 2.56 to read the updater (exe) directly and add the Slic. Once it completes successfully it saves the file as a .hdr. I do not know if I am doing something wrong and I do not know how to flash a .hdr file.
Thanks for all your help!
Ok friend,
when PMT cannot repack the .exe file is for an issue (normaly is a Checksum error)
and It's alomst complicated to recalc It manualy !
So there are two ways to reflash the .HDR file :
1. Use the original Bios .exe file as comand to flash the bios.gz file You got from PMT !
e.g. O990-A18.exe -readgz (this would be executed from an USB Stick Booting in Dos)

2. Use DCCU Dell Client Configuration Utility (or new version DCM) to repack a Bios Update from an HDR file !

Use Google to find all informations !
Let me know
regards
P.S. I have not tried yet to flash so as I haven't any Dell PC so report the result !
The Bios updater exe does not have the command line arguments to flash a .gz file. Also, I tried the DCCU and it doesn't work on EFI BIOSs. Is there any other options?
Which is Bios updater ? You tried to use O990-A18.exe -readgz from Dos ?
Preparing an USB Dos Fat32 bootable copying the files into . . .
O990-A18.exe
bios.gz
Then from CLI C:\
tried to execute O990-A18.exe -readgz ?
Others options I will ask to a friend of mine Dell Bioses Expert and I will report here !
I have tried /readgzfile and -readgzfile from DOS and neither work. Are those the ones youre referring to or should I just try "-readgz" without the file?
Thanks for your help. I am stuck on this one.

LosSantosPro, thanks for your help.
It finds two flash devices:
W25Q64BV ID:0xEF4017 Size: 8192KB
W25Q16BV ID:0xEF4015 Size: 2048KB
I get the message "Error 104: the 2 SPI flash devices do not have compatible command sets"
