Yes i have the only CD I could get to boot was a cd containing a mini xp computer. i was not able to do Bios upgrade bios was 1.6.0 now upgraded to 1.12. from cd Unsupported System Detected keeps displaying so ugrade had to be performed VIA USB. I would like to install lifecycle but cant find a way to install from bios. i also thought that maybe my drivers may need to be updated but cant find a bios file.

Can you please assist me in how i am to load the fireware updates. over thte last week i have got the iso downloaded. file is almost 20 gig. I do not have access to a blueray burner and my R310 drive is dvd.
I have tried to use the dell DDDP tool only good for a 2 gb partition. i have dparted a drive and tried that way. I have also tried to boot from FreeDos with no luck. Is there a way to install lifecycle without an OS. I can access the the Unified Server configurator but only have an option to deploy OS and hardware diagnostics. Please help
