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

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
