Dell Inventory Collector Tool
The Dell Inventory Collector tool enables you to gather information
on current operating system and hardware firmware. The Dell Inventory

separate tools for Dell servers with Windows and Linux operating systems.
The tools are updated every three months and you can download these tools
from a public Symantec download portal as .cab files. However, The Dell
Inventory Collector task downloads each tool automatically.
