That's the Dell OEM version of the 4100. It has been a long time, but I think you need to do the following:

Go to http://your705N/config/debug

Issue the following commands in that command window in this order:
bios unlock
bios oem none
bios lock
reboot

When the system comes back up, you should be able to upgrade the OS with your SUP file. If Assist doesn't work, you may need to do it from the web interface. The box may also complain about missing language files until you upgrade it - that's a consequence of changing the OEM flag without changing the software on the drives.
