  • Rebranding Dell PowerEdge E560F to R640

    Rebranding Dell PowerEdge E560F to R640

    A Dell PowerEdge E560F is functionally the same as a PowerEdge R640. It is possible to rebrand the E560F to appear like it is really an R640. This is purely cosmetic and doesn’t effect the function of the server.

    First start by obtaining the correct board service utility / ID Module. This is the file that worked for me but you may have to experiment with different ID modules depending on your server.

    rebranding-dell-e560f

    After downloading you must extract the .PM file from the exe using a utility like 7zip.

    Extract PM file with 7zip

    After the PM file has been obtained upload it directly through iDRAC.

    Upload to iDRAC

    Manually reboot the system once the job is in the queue.

    You will see the process of rebranding begin to take place.

    System rebranding

    After the server reboots itself you will see the new R640 branding.
