  3. Click Browse, select the firmware image file for the required component, and then click Upload.
  4. After the upload is complete, the Update Details section displays each firmware file uploaded to iDRAC and its status. If the firmware image file is valid and was successfully uploaded, the Contents column displays a plus icon ( ) icon next to the firmware image file name. Expand the name to view the Device Name, Current, and Available firmware version information.
