Integration
This chapter discusses the various operations that you can perform after you install DLCI on
Configuration Manager.

DLCI for Configuration Manager enables you to perform the following operations on all Dell systems
under a collection:

Dell Deployment ToolKit
The Dell Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration
files that you can use to deploy and configure the Dell systems. You can use DTK to build script-based
and RPM-based installation for deploying large number of systems on a pre-operating system
environment in a reliable way, without changing their current deployment processes. Using DTK you can
install operating systems on Dell systems in BIOS or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode.
