NOTE: From 9.3.0, the RPM packages in Server Administrator are signed with a new Dell SHA-512 signature key. If
using non interactive or silent method of installation, to verify the authenticity, you must download the key from the
following location: https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/public_gpg3.key, and then import the key to each host with
rpm --import <key file> before installing or upgrading to the current version of Server Administrator. Once the key
is imported, you are not required to import the key every time while installing, or upgrading to the current version of Server
Administrator.

Updating individual system components
To update individual system components, use component-specific Dell Update Packages. Use the Dell Server Update Utility DVD
to view the complete version report and to update an entire system. The Server Update Utility (SUU) identifies and applies the
required updates to your system. SUU can also be downloaded from support.dell.com.
NOTE:
For more information about obtaining and using the Server Update Utility (SUU), to update the system or to view
the updates available for any systems listed in the Repository, see the Dell Server Update Utility User's Guide at dell.com/
openmanagemanuals.
