The ISO identifiers in parentheses denote the supported language variants. For some supported languages, resizing the

browser window to 1024 pixels wide is required to view all features.

iDRAC7 Web interface is designed to work with localized keyboards for the supported language variants. Some features

of iDRAC7 Web interface, such as Virtual Console, may require additional steps to access certain functions or letters.

Other keyboards are not supported and may cause unexpected problems.

NOTE:

See the browser documentation on how to configure or setup different languages and view localized

versions of iDRAC7 Web interface.

Updating Device Firmware

Using iDRAC7, you can update the iDRAC7, BIOS, and all device firmware that is supported through Lifecycle Controller

update such as:

• Lifecycle Controller

• Diagnostics

• Operating System Driver Pack

• Network Interface Card (NIC)

• RAID Controller

You must upload the required firmware to iDRAC. After the upload is complete, the current version of the firmware

installed on the device and the version being applied is displayed. If the firmware being uploaded is not valid, an error

message is displayed. Updates that do not require a reboot are applied immediately. Updates that require a system

reboot are staged and committed to run on the next system reboot. Only one system reboot is required to perform all

updates.

After the firmware is updated, the System Inventory page displays the updated firmware version and logs are recorded.

The supported firmware image file types are:

• .exe — Windows based Dell Update Package (DUP)

• .d7

• .usc

• .pm

For files with .exe

extension, you must have System Control privilege. The Remote Firmware Update licensed feature and

Lifecycle Controller must be enabled.

For files with .d7, .usc, and .pm extension, you must have Configure privilege.
