   1. To update to the latest version using SupportAssist, select Update Software from configured Dell SupportAssist.
   2. To upgrade from a specific version on a local repository path, select Update Software from local repository path, and enter the path in the Repository Path box.

      You can upgrade from a .tgz file on a network share. This option provides an easy way to update the software in a dark site. Provide a path using one of the following formats:

      For...	Use this path...
      CIFS	\\IP Address\Any folder\file-name.tgz
      FTP	ftp://IP Address/Any folder/file-name.tgz
      HTTP	http://IP Address/Any folder/file-name.tgz
      HTTPS	http://IP Address/Any folder/file-name.tgz

   3. Optionally, provide a User Name and Password.

      The username and password are only used with CIFS. All other local repository paths must specify public share locations.

   4. Click Save.

6. Click Upgrade Software.
7. Click Yes.
8. Depending on which services were upgraded, you may be required to login again once the upgrade process is complete.
