In this video, we will show how to perform mass updates on your R740 server via the Lifecycle Controller. You will need an active Internet connection, a Laptop/Desktop, and a NIC installed in your R740. You will also need some Ethernet cables to connect the devices. You will want to connect your R740 to your network, so it has Internet access. You can do this by connecting the R740’s NIC to a switch or directly to the network. You will then set the server’s IP address, so it can join the network. You can then access Dell’s Update downloads catalog via HTTPS in the Lifecycle controller. Depending on the last time you updated your system, these updates can take hours. The speed and power of your system as well as the number of updates selected also plays a role in how long these updates will take. We run our servers overnight and sometimes come back in and the updates have not finished…. So yes, be patient and expect this to take a fair amount of time. Setting up the updates will only take a matter of minutes and is relatively easy.
