This CD will update all of the above mentioned systems, plus more:

Dell CD ISO - PowerEdge Updates

Since you are remote, you can download it and then mount the .ISO and update the system that way.

I am new to this, forgive me. I am running a Linux OS. I have downloaded the ISO. Do I copy the ISO to the remote box and mount the ISO and then update from there? Can you explain the install portion? Again, Thanks.

OOOOOO. That will only work with Windows, sooooo sorry about that. Should've asked. Depending on the distro you have and the server, there be be update packages avaiable that can run within Linux. However, you maybe looking at entering the service tag for each model model and getting the hard drive package for each download. You will then create a bootable floppy and boot to it to update the system. The system should be updated in the following order if I am not mistaken:

BIOS
ESM
ERA/DRAC if present
RAID Firmware
No Events found!
