arrow keys to navigate to options. Press <Enter> to select an option.
* Back up your data before updating the firmware. Once the update has started it must run to completion;
otherwise, the drive may not function. Dell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply during the
procedure.
* Do not run this application during a RAID volume rebuild.

3.2 Interactive Mode
--------------------
* In Interactive mode, there are two menu options to update firmware, Automatic and Interactive. Automatic
mode allows for unattended firmware updates. Interactive mode allows the user to select individual drives
to update.

wait on subsequent drives, unless the utility is exited. Do not power cycle or reboot your system while
the update is taking place.
