The easiest way to upgrade your firmware is going to be by loading a .EXE package into the iDRAC's web GUI. The R430 would have an iDRAC8. The guide I'm linking to below should help walk you through the process. You may not have an iDRAC Enterprise, which would be the slot you're referring to, but it will have an iDRAC. [URL] Alternatively, you could use the F11 key to access System Services, which is the Lifecycle Controller. You can pull the updates through the Platform Update option there. One other option you might consider is the platform specific bootable .ISO. You would just boot the server to the image, and the image would bring all the firmware up to date.  <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>
Hello I have my R430 PowerEdge server, and actually it's running under VMWare ESXi 6.0.0, I've managed it out to install OMSA to view the server's status, actually I can see, but shows me alert about Firmware/Controller version outdated, so I have looked up via Service Tag, and I download a BIN file (Red Hat it says), so how can I install it? With videos and post I saw, I must use LyfeCicle Controller, but I don't have it, or where can I find if I have it? Also my sever does not have iDRAC, the physical slot is empty. Hope you can help me Greetings.
