Using a DVD

Use either the Server Update Utility (SUU) DVDs or custom DVDs (SUU ISO downloaded from dell.com/support and written to a DVD) to perform the firmware updates. The available DVDs are:
  • OpenManage SUU DVD to update all the server components such as Lifecycle Controller, Dell Diagnostics, BIOS, RAID controller, NIC, iDRAC, and Power Supply Unit.
  • Lifecycle Controller OS Driver Packs DVD (Windows only) to update the operating system driver packs.

To access the updates from a DVD:

  1. Insert the appropriate DVD in the locally attached CD/DVD drive. Alternatively, insert the appropriate DVD in the client and use the Virtual Media feature to access the attached CD/DVD drive. For more information, see the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) User’s Guide at dell.com/esmmanuals.
  2. From the Local Drive drop-down menu, select the drive that contains the updated DVD.
  3. In the File Path or Update package path field, enter the location or subdirectory where the catalog is available.
    • NOTE: If the catalog file is located in the root folder, do not enter the file name in the File Path or Update package path field. However, if the catalog file is located in a subdirectory, enter the subdirectory name.
    • NOTE: If the catalog file or DUP is downloaded from ftp.dell.com, do not copy them to a subdirectory.
    • NOTE: Lifecycle Controller allows 256 characters in a path that includes the file name and file extension. For example, if 56 characters are used for file name and extension, only 200 characters can be used for the path. Lifecycle Controller does not support these characters -:, *,?,”,<,>,|,#,%,^, and SPACE.
