iDRAC web interface is supported in the following languages:

• English (en-us)

Some features of iDRAC Web interface, such as Virtual Console, may require additional steps to access

certain functions or letters. Other keyboards are not supported and may cause unexpected problems.

NOTE: See the browser documentation on how to configure or setup different languages and view

localized versions of iDRAC Web interface.

Updating device firmware

Using iDRAC, you can update the iDRAC, BIOS, and all device firmware that is supported by using

Lifecycle Controller update such as:

• Fibre Channel (FC) cards

• Diagnostics

• Operating System Driver Pack

• Network Interface Card (NIC)

• RAID Controller

• Power Supply Unit (PSU)

• NVMe PCIe devices

• SAS/SATA hard drives

• Backplane update for internal and external enclosures

• OS Collector

NOTE: The PSU firmware update may take several minutes depending on the system configuration

and PSU model. To avoid damaging the PSU, ensure that you do not remove the PSU before the

update is complete.

You must upload the required firmware to iDRAC. After the upload is complete, the current version of the

firmware installed on the device and the version being applied is displayed. If the firmware being

uploaded is not valid, an error message is displayed. Updates that do not require a reboot are applied
