PDF

BIOS and firmware

The Hardware ISO runs a script that automatically forces the server to install the necessary firmware updates.

This firmware is consistent with the qualified Dell VxFlex Ready Node Driver and Firmware Matrix, located at:

Some of the firmware listed in the table is dependent on the VxFlex Ready Node hardware configuration. The Hardware ISO attempts to apply all firmware updates, but only those updates that are compatible will be installed.

Applying settings using RACADM

The individual firmware files are also available on the Dell Online Support site, and can easily be installed using the following remote RACADM command:

racadm -r <dracIP> -u root -p <password> update –f <filename.exe>

Where:

  • <dracIP> is the iDRAC IP address
  • <password> is the password for the server
  • <filename.exe> is the name of the Dell Windows update packages
NOTE:The default password is calvin for R630/R730xd nodes and Scaleio123 for R640/R740xd/R840 nodes.
