Important information

Common scenarios for Hardware Application Programming Interface (HAPI) installation include:

• If you have installed only Dell Command | Configure CLI, you must install HAPI version 8.2 on the

system.

• If the system does not have HAPI installed, when you run a Dell Command | Configure command,

HAPI is automatically installed. After the option is configured, HAPI is uninstalled.

• If you run Dell Command | Configure commands frequently, install HAPI before you run Dell

Command | Configure commands for better performance.
