Click Start Upgrade.
When you initiate a DR Series system software upgrade, the navigation panel displays only the Support page and
the Software Upgrade option.
The administrator that initiated the software upgrade (known as the initiator administrator) sees a System
Information pane that displays an alert and upgrade status, and the Current Version and Upgrade History versions
of the DR Series system software listed in the Software Info pane.
All other administrators that may be logged into DR Series system (excluding the initiator administrator), only.
There are only three possible outcomes during a DR Series system software upgrade operation:

Upgrade has completed successfully—no reboot is required.

Upgrade has completed successfully—but a reboot is required (click Reboot in the Software Upgrade page).

Upgrade has failed.

NOTE: If the DR Series system software upgrade operation fails, you can reboot the system and attempt
another software upgrade operation using the DR Series system GUI. If this is unsuccessful, you can use the
DR Series system CLI system --show command to view the current System State status. DR Series system
software upgrades can also be performed using the DR Series system CLI. For details, see the

Dell DR Series

System Command Line Reference Guide

at dell.com/support/manuals/. If both the DR Series system GUI and

CLI attempts are unsuccessful, contact Dell Support for assistance.

SSL Page and Options

On the SSL page you can install a new SLL certificate. For additional security, the SSL Certificate feature for the DR
Series system enables you to replace the self-signed, factory-installed Dell certificate with another certificate, for
example, with one that is signed by a third-party CA. Once you have obtained your signed certificate, you can install it on
the SSL page. Only one certificate can be installed on a DR Series system at any given point in time.

Installing an SSL Certificate

To install an SSL certificate, complete the following steps:

1.

Select Support SSL Certificate in the navigation panel.
The SSL Certificate page is displayed.

2.

Click Choose File to locate and select the SSL certificate on your system that you want to install.

NOTE: Only .pem formatted SSL certificates are supported.

3.

On the SSL Certificate page, click Install Certificate.
The Diagnostics page is displayed, and a status showing In-progress indicates that a new diagnostics log file is
being generated.

4.

In the Install SSL Certificate dialog box, click Continue.
Unless corrupted or expired, certificates files of .pem format type with less than 2048-bit encryption should
successfully verify.
