generation iDRAC is also listed on the Firmware Update page. For the steps
to recover iDRAC firmware using CMC, see "Recovering iDRAC Firmware
Using CMC" on page 205.

Updating Firmware
NOTE: To update firmware on CMC, you must have Chassis Configuration
Administrator privilege.
NOTE: The firmware update retains the current CMC and iKVM settings.
NOTE: If a web user interface session is used to update system component
firmware, the Idle Timeout setting must be set high enough to accommodate the file
transfer time. In some cases, the firmware file transfer time may be as high
as 30 minutes. To set the Idle Timeout value, see "Configuring Services" on page 189.
The Firmware Update page displays the current version of the firmware for
each listed component and allows you to update the firmware to the latest
revision.
