One problem for the floppy misunderstanding might be. If you go to Dell download page and use the 'download' button on the right hand side, in some case you'll find the floppy image linked to that button by default. But if you use the name link (ie Perc6/e adapter) in the 'applies to:' section of that row you'll always get a list of all available formats.

Dell have a ISO image you can loop-back mount which will update all the firmware for all of your hardware in one go, under Linux[1]. Works a charm. Mark. [1] I've only used it on CentOS/RHEL. To download it, view the driver list for your server and expand the "Systems Management" tab. You're looking for the "Dell Server Updates" ISO, which should have "SUU" in the filename. -- Mark Watts BSc RHCE MBCS Senior Systems Engineer, Managed Services Manpower www.QinetiQ.com QinetiQ - Delivering customer-focused solutions GPG Key: http://www.linux-corner.info/mwatts.gpg _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
