This article explains how to update the BIOS version of a Dell PowerEdge Server using EFI file. The update is done from the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) on Dell PowerEdge Server 12 Generation onwards (screenshots may be slightly different for different generations).

Other methods to update a server are explained in the article: How-To Dell Server Tutorial to Update a PowerEdge.


Steps:

Download the Bios .efi extension file for your server from the Dell support site.

  1. Copy the file to a USB device.
 
Note: If you are doing this locally, copy the file to a USB FAT 32 device format on the root of the drive. Alternatively, create an ISO file of the .efi file and mount it in the virtual media of the iDRAC. How to use the virtual media of iDRAC is explained in Using the Virtual Media function on iDRAC6, iDRAC7, iDRAC8, and iDRAC9.
 
  1. Plug in the USB device or mount the virtual iso through IDRAC and press F11 during POST to enter BIOS Boot Manager.
