BIOS Update Requirements Overview Prior to Dell OpenManage 4.3, Server Administrator Update Service provided the ability to update system BIOS remotely from within the Server Administrator GUI. The Update Service also provided interfaces for updating many firmware and driver packages. The remote BIOS update capability did not require that you be logged in directly to the system whose BIOS you were updating.
