John, If you go to this link and download the "Update Package for Microsoft Windows " version of the update - www.dell.com/.../poweredge-r820 After that then move files to a USB. Reboot the server, hit F10 for the Lifecycle Controller. Select Platform Update. Then select the USB and put in the filename for the update file (may be caps specific). That will authenticate the file and run it and perform the update for you. Let me know how it goes.
Hi, How can I update just the bios on an R820 which has no ftp/Internet connection and no O/S installed? I was hoping to see something like with a chassis where you can tick boxes to update components, but I cannot see that for the R820.  Thx, John Bradshaw
