Understanding sources of system updates
• Online source—Default option which downloads latest driver and rmware versions from downloads.dell.com. This is also a
default option for updating MX Chassis devices.
NOTE: OpenManage Essentials automatically checks for system updates and displays a message if a newer version is
available.
• File system source—Drivers and rmware from the OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU) media.
• Repository Manager le—Customized selection of specic drivers and rmware generated from the Repository Manager tool.
Choosing the right source of system updates
• Recommended option—Use the online source to ensure that you consistently have the latest drivers and rmware available
from Dell EMC or use the Server Update Utility (SUU) option for a qualied set of drivers and rmware.
• Create custom catalog—Using this option gives you maximum control over driver and rmware revisions in your environment
because you select them individually from either the SUU media or online source using the Repository Manager. You can install
Repository Manager, a separate tool, from the OpenManage Essentials installation package.
