You may buy or receive a server that has branding (sometimes ugly branding.) You can rebrand using the DELL OEM Identity module. This will reset the branding back to DELL factory faults.
The following guide can be used to rebrand most DELL servers across different generations. FIrst, download the appropriate Identity module. In the case of the R730xd we want to download this one.
The download will come in an EXE format. What you need to do is extract the EXE with a utility like 7zip to reveal the .PM file. I already have many of them downloaded and renamed but the filename will be something along the lines of 2P6YJ_R730xdDBE_CustBSU_1_00.pm.
Upload this file directly in iDRAC:
Reboot the server and you’ll see the rebranding process come to life:
Once completed the system will reboot itself, revealing the original DELL branding:
And that’s all there is to it!
