This video demonstrates to easily update the firmware of your Dell PowerEdge Server using the Lifecycle Controller and the Dell Website as a source. This feature is available on PowerEdge server Generation 13 and newer.

PowerEdge servers of Generation 13 and newer provide an easy way to update their firmware. To start, boot up your server to enter the Lifecycle Controller using the F10 key. Navigate to Firmware Update and then Launch Firmware Update.

Select Dell Website as update repository and click Next. In the next screen, you can configure your proxy settings and test the network connection.
