Introduction
The OpenManage 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.
