Installation
You can install Server Administrator using the Dell Systems Management Tools
and Documentation DVD. The DVD provides a setup program to install,
upgrade, and uninstall Server Administrator and other managed system
software components on your managed system. This DVD also provides a
setup program to install, upgrade and uninstall management station software
components on your management station. Additionally, you can install Server
Administrator on multiple systems through an unattended installation
across a network.
The Dell™ OpenManage™ installer provides installation scripts and
RPM packages to install and uninstall Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
and other managed system software components on your managed system.
For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Installation and Security
User's Guide and the

You can access these documents either on the Dell Systems Management Tools
and Documentation DVD or on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com
If you have a modular system, you must install Server Administrator on each
server module installed in the chassis.
Updating Individual System Components
To update individual system components, use component-specific Dell
Update Packages. Use the Dell Server Updates DVD to view the complete

a DVD-ROM–based application for identifying and applying updates to your
system. The Server Update Utility can be downloaded from support.dell.com.
See the Server Update Utility User's Guide for more information about obtaining
and using the Server Update Utility (SUU) to update your Dell Systems or to
view the updates available for any systems listed in the Repository.
