Comparing and updating firmware inventory
About this task
This feature enables you to view, compare, and update current firmware versions for specific systems. It

the catalog resides on a CIFS share that is accessible to the Dell Lifecycle Controller of the

name and password if you are viewing or comparing against the catalog.

• FTP: ftp.dell.com — to connect to the Dell FTP site to compare and update the firmware
inventory of the system.
