5 Verify that the active or primary CMC firmware is at the requested level
using the getsysinfo command or through the Web-based interface.
6 Once both CMCs are updated to the same firmware revision, use the
cmcchangeover command to reset the CMC in the left slot as primary.
Downloading the CMC Firmware
Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware version
from the Dell Support website, and save it to your local system.
The following software components are included with your CMC firmware
package:
• Compiled CMC firmware code and data
• Web-based interface, JPEG, and other user interface data files
• Default configuration files
Use the Firmware Update page to update the CMC firmware to the latest
revision. When you run the firmware update, the update retains the current
CMC settings.
NOTE:
The firmware update, by default, will retain the current CMC settings.
During the update process, you have the option to reset the CMC configuration
settings back to the factory default settings.
Updating the CMC Firmware Using the Web-based Interface
1 Log in to the Web-based interface. See "Logging in to the CMC Using the
Web-Based Interface" on page 25.
2 Click Chassis in the system tree.
3 Click the Update tab. The Updatable Components page appears.
4 On the Updatable Components page, click the CMC name. The

network where the firmware image file resides, or click Browse to navigate
to the file location.
NOTE:
The default CMC firmware image name is firmimg.cmc and the
filename should not be changed. Care must be taken to keep different
firmware revisions separated as the file name will always be the same.
