Well I tried to download the firmware and use a USB but that was a no go. I extracted all of the files to the USB but said the correct path was no found. Looks like there is a few different ways to do the update.
Do you have idrac enterprise or express?
USB has to be in the system when the system is booting to be detected, it does not refresh the USB if inserted after the system is booted.
Accessing via the idrac and updating that way might be a better option.
