Installation instructions

-----------------
UPDATE PROTECTION
-----------------
Please note: The Dell ControlVault firmware update process contains a protection mechanism to prevent unauthorized updates.
Protection Mechanism: Anti-Hammering.
The Dell ControlVault is equipped with Anti-Hammering protection that detects large numbers of read/write requests in a short period of time. This mechanism protects against malicious software that attempts to gain access to stored credentials by using multiple retry methods such as dictionary or brute force attacks. If a large number of read/write attempts are detected, the Dell ControlVault will temporarily shut down to prevent unauthorized access, and a reboot is required. In some instances, starting a firmware update may trigger the Anti-Hammering protection if the Dell ControlVault has just been recently used. In this case, the firmware update tool will prompt youto power off and then power the system back on, and then proceed with the firmware update.
