THE DRAC/MC FIRMWARE RECOVERY CONSOLE UTILITY UPLOAD.EXE
#######################################################################

NOTE: The "upload.exe" program that is supplied here is used only with 
the Firmware Recovery Console in case of firmware corruption. The DRAC/MC 
Web-based user interface or the serial racadm CLI can be used for a 
standard TFTP-based firmware update by using the "mgmt.bin" binary file. 

If, for some reason, the firmware should become corrupted, the DRAC/MC 
will boot to the Firmware Recovery Console. The recovery console output 
is displayed only through the serial port. To see the console, you are 
required to attach a null modem cable from the DRAC/MC serial port to 
your management station, and run a terminal emulation software package 
to attach to the DRAC/MC. The console allows you to install the 
firmware through one of two interfaces, either a TFTP server or the 
DRAC/MC serial port.

Using the Serial Port to Upload Firmware
#######################################################################

The Firmware Recovery Console output looks similar to
following screen text. The console options are:

  (1) Upgrade Firmware from Serial Port 
  (2) Upgrade Firmware from Network
  (3) Network Parameters
  Choose:__

To upload through the serial port, perform the following steps:

1) Select option "(1) Upgrade Firmware from Serial Port".

2) After you have selected option (1), you will see characters appear 
on the DRAC/MC console. At this time, you must exit your terminal 
emulation software and start the UPLOAD.EXE executable from the Windows
command prompt. 

The upload will take several minutes. When the upload is complete, the 
DRAC/MC resets and the DRAC/MC login page is displayed.

#######################################################################
Using the Network to Upload the Firmware
#######################################################################

A TFTP server is needed to upload the firmware using the network option.
See the "Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis Version 1.3 
User's Guide" for information about using the Firmware Recovery Console.
