Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 Release 1.4.0 User's Guide

Selecting and Applying Updates

  1. To select and apply the updates, from the Available System Updates table, click the option corresponding to the component that has the firmware you want to update to. After you select, the catalog ID details of the firmware selected is displayed in the following format.

    Release Date: YYYY-MM-DD

    Source: USB Driveor CD or DVD (< device type >): \< firmware file name in .exe format >.

    By default, Lifecycle Controller selects the components for which the current updates are available. For more information, see the Lifecycle Controller online help.

  2. Click Apply. The system restarts after the update process is complete. When applying more than one update, the system restarts between updates directly into Lifecycle Controller, and continues with the other selected updates.
  • NOTE: The system does not restart after updating the OS driver pack and hardware diagnostics.
  • NOTE: While using Lifecycle Controller to update the power supply unit (PSU) firmware, the system turns off after the first task. It takes a couple of minutes to update the PSU firmware, and then automatically turns on the server.
