Updating the Platform using the Platform Update Wizard
Use the Platform Update wizard to view the current versions of the installed
applications and firmware information. You can use the Platform Update
Wizard to display a list of available updates for your system. After you select
the updates you want to apply, USC - LCE downloads and applies the
updates.
NOTE: To ensure optimal system performance and avoid system problems,
Dell recommends that you download and apply updates on a regular basis.
To run the Platform Update wizard, you need access to the Dell File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) server at ftp.dell.com. Alternatively, your system
administrator may provide the updates on a local USB device or on a
Dell Server Update Utility DVD. Contact your system administrator to find
out the preferred method for accessing updates in your organization.
See "Configuring a Local FTP Server"
for more information.
NOTE: If you are using FTP as your update method, you must configure the network
card using USC - LCE USC Settings wizard before accessing the updates. See
"Using USC Settings Wizard" for more information.
