Then it's understandable why you want to update.

 

I have looked into the different files for the BIOS and as far as I can tell, the OS version matters, so download the one that fits your OS.

And to unzip the file, can't you just right click it and open it that way?

 

For anybody else that want a link to the BIOS files: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=16RCK

How does Dell recommend that you installe the BIOS?

As far as I can tell you would have do it through the a floppy disk (it would probably work with other removable media, but I'm not sure).

You can also unpack a .exe file by usibg either 7Zip or WINrar.

I'm sorry that I'm drawing a bit of a blank here, but I have little to no idea about how the server works in this regard.
