NOTE: Dell OpenManage software detects the MSI version on your system. If the version is earlier than 3.1,
the prerequisite checker prompts you to upgrade to MSI version 3.1. After upgrading the MSI to version 3.1,
you may have to reboot the system to install other software applications such as Microsoft SQL Server.
