You can update the firmware from BIOS boot menu by follow this installation instructions:
1. Download and copy this firmware file to a FAT32 formatted USB drive.
2. Insert the USB drive into any USB port.
3. Power on the system.
4. At the DELL logo screen, keep tapping on F12 to access the one-time boot menu.
5. Select BIOS Flash Update in the Other Options section.
6. Click the ... button to browse the USB drive to locate the firmware file.
7. Select the firmware file and click OK.
8. Verify the existing system BIOS information and the BIOS update information.
9. Click Begin Flash Update.
10. Review the Warning message and click Yes to proceed with the update.
The system restarts and displays a Flash Progress bar at the Dell logo screen. The system restarts again when the Flash update is complete.

@Chino de Oro I should have posted this under Dell Community>Software>Endpoint Management. I work for an organization and need to update 500+ Dell computers. Updating the UEFI Firmware with Precision_3260_3460_3.12.0_SEMB.exe works fine when ran manually but will not be possible with so many endpoints. My issue is when trying to use Dell Command | Update CLI to update the UEFI Firmware.
