DELL PowerEdge OEMR 14G ID Module

This method is used to update the Identity Module on an OEM-R Enterprise system.

PREPARATION:
1) Ensure system is already de-branded and the CUST exe file is for your platform.
2) Note any iDRAC user settings that are important for your specific environment. 'Reset iDRAC to Default Settings' is needed for this installation and will set iDRAC user settings to revert to Dell standard Defaults.

INSTALLATION:
1) Ensure Identity Module's CUST exe file does not have 'BSU' (Board Service Util) in its file name.
2) Execute the CUST exe to extract a .pm file.
3) Login to iDRAC web GUI, navigate to 'Update and Rollback' link on left pane.
4) Using 'Firmware Update' tab, browse to the 'Cust' .pm file from above step and upload it.
5) Under the 'Update Details' section, select your .pm file. Ensure 'Current' and 'Available' revisions are as expected.
6) Click 'Install' button.
7) Go to 'Job Queue' tab and wait for your install job to change from 'New' to 'Completed'.
8) Navigate to 'Troubleshooting' link on left pane. Click on 'Diagnostic' tab on right. Click on 'iDRAC reset to Default Settings' link. Note: This step will set iDRAC DHCP to Dell's default value of disabled.
Wait for iDRAC reboot to complete (about 4 minutes). Re-enable DHCP if needed.
11) Reboot the system. Wait for System Inventory to complete followed by one more self-reboot before you see updated BIOS splash logo.
12) Verify that the tab -->'System Inventory' --> 'Firmware Inventory' shows 'Identity Module' as a component with new revision.
13) Verify that the Branding changes (on iDRAC GUI and BIOS screens) are working as expected.
14) Restore (if any) iDRAC user settings that were noted during 'Preparation' above.
