NautilusEFIAxx_ZPE.exe.

DUP Reboot Required If this eld is set to Yes, then the Update Package (DUP) eld is not blank. It
indicates the availability of an online DUP. The DUP allows to be sent to the
rmware payload through an online executable, but the rmware will not be
committed to the disk until the next system reboot. Hence, you can perform
one-to-many online deployments using applications or scripts that can launch the
online executable.
DUP It is a single executable that runs on a single family of drives. Unlike Nautilus, to
update dierent drives you have to use dierent DUP packages. A single DUP
package updates all drives applicable to that DUP package in an execution. You
can run the DUP online without a reboot. It is recommended to stop or at least
slow I/O operations during a DUP online rmware upgrade.
Part Number In the event of a drive failure, you can run the View Physical Disk Firmware
Version Report to nd out the part number of the failed drive and to check if
any of the drives require an update.
