iDRAC9 Upgrade

I am looking to upgrade our iDRAC9 from Current: 6.10.30.20 to the latest. Can I go straight to the latest version which looks like iDRAC 7.20.30.00 or is there a path that I should follow?

PowerEdge R550, BIOS: 1.9.2.

Updating iDRAC remotely using iDRAC web interface

You can remotely update the firmware from the management stations using the iDRAC web interface.

  1. Extract the self-extracting installation package to the management station.
  2. Access the iDRAC web interface using a supported web browser.
  3. Log in as an administrator.
  4. Click Maintenance > System Update.
    The Manual Update page is displayed.
  5. Select Local to upload the firmware image from the local system.
  6. Click Browse, select the .d9 file that you extracted or the Dell Update Package for Windows, and click Upload.
  7. Wait for the upload to complete. After the upload is complete, the Update Details section displays the uploaded file and the status.
  8. Select the firmware file and click Install.
    The message RAC0603: Updating Job Queue is displayed.
