Note: In order to see the details for each section, click the "xyz Procedure" text.
Note: All updates with the exception of the iDRAC update require downtime!
Note: The recommended order of firmware updates is:
  1. iDRAC
  2. BIOS
  3. CPLD/FPGA
  4. any other update

 

iDRAC, BIOS and CPLD or FPGA updates should be done separately and with NO other updates scheduled.
All other updates can be scheduled with other updates.

 

Caution: PSU updates do take a long time (30 to 60 minutes) and should NOT be disrupted. Turning the machine on, off or disconnecting the power cords will disrupt the process! The machine will power on once the PSU update is done!

 

Overview

This article shows the different specific methods to update without detail. You can find additional articles with more details to the methods in the "additional information" section of this article.

The goal here is to provide the preferred methods to do updates that are the most risk-averse they can be without being impractical or time consuming.

Update procedures for specific important elements in the server.

Required tools and capabilities

  • A laptop or other personal computer to download and service the server environment.
  • Access to the internal network, Internet, and server network (not necessarily simultaneously)
  • iDRAC present and configured with an IP address that is known to you or can be obtained
    • Some other methods do not require this, but have their own caveats and special considerations
    • Unless otherwise mentioned, iDRAC access is required without exception.  

BIOS

BIOS Update Procedure
Note: This update is to be done alone with no other update scheduled.

Update procedure: 

  1. Check on the dell.com/support webpage what the latest BIOS version for your server is

Network card (NIC)

NIC Update Procedure

Update procedure:

  1. Check on the dell.com/support webpage what the latest iDRAC version for your server is and download it
    • (example R660, US) https://www.dell.com/support/product-details/en-us/product/poweredge-r660/drivers
      1. Click Category and select "Network, Ethernet and Wireless," in the list find the NIC you would like to update.
      2. The most difficult part here is to find the correct firmware when the NIC names are similar or obscured as multiple downloads are seen for different NICs and even the Data Processing Unit (DPU) card:
      3. The iDRAC UI can show you the type of network card needed or, like in the following example, the log file details (TSR) shows the exact card model needed (R650 example):
        TSR PCI devices and ethernet device list 
      4. From the example, the Intel X710-T4L-t OCP network card firmware can be found here:

  8. The update page expands and shows something like this (BIOS example, the same applies to NIC):
    uploaded firmware list, selection of BIOS and pointing to the install next reboot button to install the update
    1. Note: Should you have uploaded the wrong file or the NIC cannot be seen in the iDRAC UI, the machine does NOT schedule the firmware update as it does NOT find the hardware to apply the update to!
      You have to download another file and ensure that the NIC is seen. This prevents the wrong firmware to be flashed onto any device including the NICs.
  9. The uploaded update is now scheduled to be run when the machine is rebooted (voluntary or involuntary).
  10. Check the "Job queue" to see if the NIC update job can be seen as status "Scheduled" or "Scheduled (0%)" already.
    Job queue message after pressing either install button on the update page 
  11. Once it is seen as "Scheduled" or "Scheduled (0%)", the machine is ready to be rebooted.
