Here are a few tips to assist you in your installation. 1) The capability to download the catalog of firmware from either ftp.dell.com or downloads.dell.com for the 11th generation of Dell PE R servers by means of the LC controller is no longer supported due to insufficient RAM of the LC controller. 2) The iDRAC can install either Win64 or Win32 binary files. 3) Either RHEL or CentOS 6.10 AMD64 at <http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/> will be able to install the "Update Package for Red Hat Linux" called "BIOS_0F4YY_LN_6.6.0.BIN". 4) Installation via the iDRAC often requires stepped upgrades, while installation via RHEL rarely requires them unless the firmware be old. 5) Dell recommends the utilities Dell System Update (DSU) at <https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln310654/dell-emc-system-update-dsu> and Dell Repository Manager (DRM) at <https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln283183/dell-emc-repository-manager-drm-guide-and-download>. The DSU is the client-side application, and the DRM is the server-side service. -- Zachary Wincek On Mon, Oct 7, 2019 at 5:05 PM Blake Hudson <[email protected]> wrote: > > > [EXTERNAL EMAIL] > > You should be able to use any of the Windows .exe files via the method > you have linked.
