IDPA 2.7.6 is bundled with DPATools CLI version 3.1.0.0-1. Ensure that you download the appropriate DPATools version from the Dell EMC Support website. Alternatively, see the Software Compatibility Guide for supported versions of any IDPA component.

1. Using an SSH client, connect to the ACM as a root user.
2. Create a directory by running the following command:
   mkdir /root/firmware/
3. Downloaded the latest IDPA_DPATOOLS-3.1.0.0-1.zip from the Dell EMC Support site and extract the files.
4. Copy the dpatools-3.1.0.0-1.rpm to the new /root/firmware/ directory.
5. On the SSH session, verify the version of DPATools that is installed on the ACM.
   rpm -qa dpatools.
   The following is a sample output of this command: dpatools-3.1.0.0-1.x86_64
6. If the version that you downloaded is a later version than the one already installed, then upgrade the DPATools package by running the following.
