Repairing Lifecycle Controller

If the message Lifecycle Controller update required appears during power-on self-test (POST), the

embedded device that stores Lifecycle Controller may contain corrupted data. To resolve the issue, you must first

attempt to update Lifecycle Controller by executing Lifecycle Controller Dell Update Package (DUP). For more

information, see the

Dell Update Packages User’s Guide

available at dell.com/support/manuals. If running the DUP does

not resolve the issue, use the Lifecycle Controller repair package:

1. Go to ftp.dell.com → LifecycleController and download the file LC2_Repair_Package_1.a.b.c.d.usc (or newer

version) to a temporary location.

2. Connect to iDRAC on your system using the iDRAC Web interface. For more information about iDRAC, see the

Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) User’s Guide

available at dell.com/support/manuals

3. In the iDRAC7 Web interface, go to Overview → iDRAC Settings → Update and Rollback → Update ..

The Firmware Update page is displayed.

4. Click Browse and select the Lifecycle Controller Repair Package you downloaded from ftp.dell.com

The Status (Step 2 of 3) page is displayed.

5. Click Next.

The Updating (Step 3 of 3) page is displayed.

6. After the update is complete, restart the system.

7. To launch Lifecycle Controller, press the <F10> key within 10 seconds after the Dell logo appears.

8. Complete the installation of all recommended updates. For more information, see Updating Platform. When updates

are complete, your system automatically restarts.

9. While the system restarts, press the <F10> key again to relaunch Lifecycle Controller.
