NOTE: If the iDRAC6 firmware becomes corrupted, as could occur if the iDRAC6
firmware update progress is interrupted before it completes, you can recover the
iDRAC6 using the iDRAC6 Web interface.
NOTE: The firmware update, by default, retains the current iDRAC6 settings. During
the update process, you have the option to reset the iDRAC6 configuration to the
factory defaults. If you set the configuration to the factory defaults, you must
configure the network using the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility.

2 Click iDRAC Settings , and then click the Update tab.

firmware image that you downloaded from
support.dell.com or the System
Services recovery image.
