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 Browse 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 Install SSL Certificate dialog box is displayed. 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. 5. In the certificate Validation dialog box, click Continue. In the event you see the Certificate Verification Failed dialog box, clicking on "Continue" here will generate a connection reset in the browser. You will still be allowed to continue with certificate installation. Upon successful installation of a certificate, an HTTP server restart is performed, and the browser will move to a connection reset state. NOTE: If your browser cannot connect to a DR Series system after a certificate installation, you may need to reset the certificate from the command line interface (CLI) using "maintenance --configuration -reset_web_certificate". Refer to the Dell DR Series Command Line Reference Guide for more information. 6. Click either the page reload icon or the back-arrow on the browser to restore the page. Resetting the SSL Certificate You can reset the certificate back to the factory-installed Dell, self-signed certificate. The "Reset SSL Certificate" link in the upper right corner of the SSL Certificate page will be enabled after a successful certificate installation. 104

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
Browse

NOTE:
Only .pem formatted SSL certificates are supported.
3.
On the SSL Certificate page, click
Install Certificate
.
The Install SSL Certificate dialog box is displayed.
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.
5.
In the certificate Validation dialog box, click
Continue
.
In the event you see the Certificate Verification Failed dialog box, clicking on “Continue” here will generate a
connection reset in the browser. You will still be allowed to continue with certificate installation. Upon successful
installation of a certificate, an HTTP server restart is performed, and the browser will move to a connection reset
state.
NOTE:
If your browser cannot connect to a DR Series system after a certificate installation, you may need to
reset the certificate from the command line interface (CLI) using “maintenance --configuration --
reset_web_certificate”. Refer to the
Dell DR Series Command Line Reference Guide
for more information.
6.
Click either the page reload icon or the back-arrow on the browser to restore the page.
