Albert, You will need to have the BUU (Build and Update Utility) or the SMTD (System Mgt Tools and Docs). If you don't have either then use the BUU as it is a smaller download. BUU -www.dell.com/.../DriverFileFormats You will need the SUU (Server Update Utility) Download these 3 files www.dell.com/.../DriverDetails www.dell.com/.../DriverDetails www.dell.com/.../DriverDetails Use this command to merge the 3 files into a single ISO. copy /b om*  om651_suu_a00.iso  After you have those two disks burned (BUU and SUU) then follow the email walkthrough I sent you.
It's my first time to set up dell Poweredge 2850 servers. Could somebody help me or give me the STEP BY STEP guide on how to UPDATE the BIOS from AO2 to AO7? We are running on VMWare ESXi 4.1. Actually i have managed to config RAID and i have already set up 2 Virtual Machines (Windows Server 2008 R2) and its only updating the BIOS and Firmware that is left. I know where to download the latest updates but i just dont know how or where to start? DRAC4 is working. Im using vSphere Client. I have Dell OpenManage Server Manager and Dell IT Assitant installed on one of the VMs on the server but i think they're not working properly as im having problems with credentials/logging in.
