Frequently Asked Questions
When USC - LCE downloads updates, where are the files stored?
The files are stored in non-volatile memory, located on the main system
board. This memory is not removable and is not accessible through the
operating system.
Is a virtual media device or vFlash card required to store data for updates?
No. The files are stored in memory on the main system board.
What is virtual media?
Virtual media is remote media—like CDs, DVDs, and USB keys—that a
server identifies as local media.
What should I do if an update fails?
If an update fails, USC-LCE will reboot and then attempt all the remaining
pending updates selected. After the final reboot, the system returns to the
USC-LCE Home page. Launch Platform Updates again and then re-select
the update that had failed and click Apply.
What is vFlash or virtual flash?
vFlash is a formatted SD (Secure Digital) card that plugs into iDRAC6
Enterprise. vFlash can be formatted and enabled via iDRAC to make it
accessible as a USB key for data storage. Virtual flash is a partition on vFlash
to which you can remotely write an ISO. See the Integrated Dell Remote
Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User’s Guide available at
support.dell.com/manuals for more information.
Can I add my own drivers to use for operating system installation?
No. You cannot add your own drivers for operating system installation.
See "Updating the Platform using the Platform Update Wizard" for
more information on updating the drivers that are used for operating
system installation.
