Accessing Updates on a Local FTP Server
The users in your organization need to know the IP address of the local FTP
server in order to specify the online repository when using the
OS Deployment wizard.
If your users are accessing the local FTP server through a proxy server,
then they need to know the following information for the proxy server:
• The proxy server host name or IP address
• The port number of the proxy server
• The user name required for authentication on the proxy server
• The password required for authentication on the proxy server
• The type of proxy server
Configuring a Local USB Device
If your organization’s users are on a private network that does not have access
to external sites like ftp.dell.com, you can provide updates from a
locally-configured USB device.
The USB device you use as a repository must be able to hold at least 3 GB of
content.
A USB device is not required for users that have access to ftp.dell.com
through a proxy server.
For the latest updates, download the most recent Dell Server Updates ISO for
your system from the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
