Optiplex 390 & 3010: Upgrading the ePSA?
Hello:
While refurbishing my collection of Optiplex 390's SFF's & 3010 DT's I noticed that some of the systems had different versions of ePSA installed.
How can I upgrade the version of ePSA installed on my systems to the latest version?
TIA,
Eric P.

This information is from Dell.
"The ePSA is now no longer held on a hidden partition on the system's primary hard drive but is now part of the BIOS. If there are updates for the ePSA, they will come as part of a BIOS update."

ePSA runs with No HDD present, notice that yet,
that means its in the FIRMWARE ,
so upgrade your BIOS, and what you see is all you get. for sure.
the epSA is only for your PC and no other PC on earth. (and is complex the testing, hugely.)
also know that options on the PC are not the same, at all between PC models . so it cant test what it does not understand , no crystal ball, no BIOS has any kind of crystal ball magic.
windows has PnP, bios has no such thing, infact no internet conn. inside BIOS. so, what you see is what you got.
WYSIWYG
but notwithstanding all that, ePSA is fantastic.
all you can do is upgrade BIOS. that is it. here.
