Dell Update Packages Version 14.11.201 User's Guide

You can update the system BIOS, iDRAC firmware, power supply firmware, RAID firmware, and NIC firmware. Use the wizard to display a list of available updates for the system Platform Update

You can define a location to search for available updates from the following options:

• The Dell File Transfer Protocol (FTP) system ( ftp.dell.com). You can use a proxy system to access ftp.dell.com.
• A USB device. When accessing updates from a local USB device, the USB device must be plugged in before selecting the Platform Update option in Lifecycle Controller. For more information on updating the platform, see the Dell Lifecycle controller User Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

After you select the updates you want to apply, Lifecycle Controller downloads and applies the updates. If you decide to update any device in Lifecycle Controller, the update package of the corresponding device is downloaded. After successfully downloading, verifying, and extracting the DUPs, the corresponding devices are updated. If the update fails, error messages are displayed.
