Dell Server Updates DVD
The Dell Server Updates DVD is a part of the Dell OpenManage subscription service kit along with the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD. The Dell Server Updates DVD is available only to those customers who
have subscribed to the subscription service.
The Dell Server Updates DVD contains Dell Update Packages (DUPs) and Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU).
DUPs allow administrators to update a wide range of system components simultaneously and apply scripts to similar
sets of Dell systems to bring system software components to the same version levels.
SUU is an application that identifies and applies updates to your system. You can use SUU to update your Dell system or
to view the updates available for any system supported by SUU.
In addition to helping you install, configure, and update programs and operating systems, the Dell Server Updates DVD
also provides newer versions of software for your system.
For more information on DUPs and SUU, see the Dell Update Packages User's Guide and the Dell OpenManage Server
Update Utility User's Guide respectively at support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/omswrels.
For more information on the subscription service, see dell.com/openmanagesubscription or contact your sales
representative.
