This section describes how easily DSA Preboot can be updated. Download
DSA Preboot from:

The DSA can be updated by:
Windows operating system
Linux operation system (not VMware ESX 3i embedded)
Bootable CD or mounted ISO image in the RSA II Web interface
USB memory key, if it is attached locally at the server or mounted in the
remote control window
Note: The DSA Preboot updates stand-alone systems and all nodes that are
partitioned to a multinode system. See Chapter 4, "Multinode hardware
configurations" on page 195.
Update by using the ISO image
After you download the ISO file, you may burn it to a CD-ROM or mount it at the
remote control feature in the RSA II Web interface, described in 6.2.4, "Remote
console and media" on page 324.
To update the DSA Preboot:
1. Mount the ISO image or created CD-ROM in the RSA II Web interface remote
control window, or insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of your server.
2. Boot the server to the CD-ROM drive.
The initial sequence detects the internal 4 GB USB flash device, and
addresses it by SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage support, shown in
Example 6-2.
