Downloading the ISO images

To download the ISO images:
1
In the Dell System Management Tools and Documentation section, click Download to download the file to your system.
2
In the Dell Server Updates section, click Download to download the file to your system.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Files that are larger than 2 GB are separated into smaller download files. Once downloaded, you need to combine them on your machine before burning them to a DVD. For example, the Dell Server Updates ISO image consists of three files on the support site: OM_6.2.0_SUU_A01.iso.001, OM_6.2.0_SUU_A01.iso.002, and OM_6.2.0_SUU_A01.iso.003.
Download these files and combine them into a single .iso file using the following command:
copy /b OM* OM_620_SUU_A01.iso
3
Using your DVD burning software, create a DVD that contains the ISO images, one each for Dell System Management Tools and Documentation and Dell Server Updates.
4
To create the DVD, use the burn from disc image functionality on your DVD burning software.

Updating the firmware on the appliance

You can update any of the Dell PowerEdge appliances, R300, R310, R610, R710, or R720 using the DVDs that were created in the previous procedure. It is not necessary to create separate DVDs for each appliance type.

To update the firmware on the appliance:
1
Insert the Dell System Management and Documentation DVD into the appliance DVD tray. For more information about creating DVD images, see Downloading the ISO images.
2
Log in to the appliance as the Setup user.
3
To reboot the appliance, select the Appliance Shutdown/Reboot option then click Yes to confirm the operation.
The system boots from the System Management and Documentation DVD. The boot sequence can take several minutes to complete. When the boot sequence is complete, the Dell menu appears.
4
Select the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility option.
5
Select the Configure action link for the Firmware Update option.
6
Specify the update location by selecting the Update from CD/DVD option.

Click Continue.
The system ejects the System Management and Documentation DVD and prompts you for the disk containing the update repository.
8
Insert the Dell Server Updates DVD and click OK. For more information about creating DVD images, see Downloading the ISO images.
9
Click Continue.
The Build and Update Utility scans the appliance and compares it to the updates available on the Server Updates DVD.

Click OK to update all the firmware on the system.
Apply all the updates that are available. The updating can take several minutes to complete. After the update process finishes, the system reboots. Do not interrupt this process once it has started.
