Dell poweredge r210 problem with updating software
Hi, I bought a used dell poweredge r210 server a few days ago. I tired to update it using lifecycle controller. I went to Platform update > Launch platform update and chose ftp server. After clicking next and waiting a bit I got this error message:

This may not work, due to the specific OS, but it may be worth a try anyway. These are the bin files for the BIOS, iDRAC, and Lifecycle controller. They haven't been validated in the Ubuntu family, so the applications may not run, but worth a try.
BIOS 1.12: https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER05074938M/1/R210_BIOS_3JR2N_LN_1.12.0.BIN
iDRAC 2.90: https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04448397M/1/ESM_Firmware_9GJYW_LN32_2.90_A00.BIN
BMC 1.70 (If no iDRAC): https://downloads.dell.com/esm/BMC_FRMW_LX_R295870.BIN
Lifecycle Controller 1.7.5: https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER02971948M/1/Lifecycle-Controller_Legacy_Application_0WFGM_LN_1.7.5.4_A00.BIN

Good morning,
Looking at the image you posted to Imgur, it looks like the system is crashing during the attempt to run through the firmware update. With that being the case, I would try first draining the power by unplugging the server, then holding the power button down for around 30 seconds. Once that is done, you can flash the firmware using the .iso linked below. That .iso should have the updates to the iDRAC and Lifecycle controller. That should help fix the error you're getting.
R210 FW .iso: https://dell.app.box.com/v/bootabler210/folder/59774555260

No, the system booted, but it looks like there is a problem with the update script. Is an OS installed on the server at present? If so, what is it? We may be able to update from there, depending on the operating system.

I wonder, does the monolithic version 2.90 of idrac now have BMC embedded?
Anyone know what may be happening? Thank you.
ps: sorry for my english, not my native language.
