138 Using the CMC Web Interface
The Updatable Components page displays the current version of the
firmware for each listed component (CMC/iKVM) and allows you to update
the firmware to the latest revision by uploading the firmware image file
(package).
NOTE: Be sure you have the latest firmware version. You can download the latest
firmware image file from the Dell Support website.
Updating the CMC Firmware
NOTE: During updates of the CMC firmware or the iDRAC firmware on a server,
some or all of the fan units in the chassis will spin at 100%. This is normal.
NOTE: The CMC resets and becomes temporarily unavailable after the firmware
has been uploaded successfully. To avoid disconnecting other users during a reset,
notify authorized users who might log into the CMC and check for active sessions
by viewing the Sessions page. To open the Sessions page, select Chassis in the
tree, click the Network/Security tab, and then click the Sessions sub-tab. Help for
that page is available through the Help link at the top right corner of the page.
NOTE: When transferring files to and from the CMC, the file transfer icon spins
during the transfer. If your icon is not animated, make sure that your browser is
configured to allow animations. See "Allow Animations in Internet Explorer" on
page 38 for instructions.
NOTE: If you experience problems downloading files from CMC using Internet
Explorer, enable the Do not save encrypted pages to disk option. See "Downloading
Files From CMC With Internet Explorer" on page 38 for instructions.
