each supported operating system.
Dependencies and Prerequisites
Upgrading Dell OpenManage Software Versions 1.x through 4.2
Upgrades from Dell OpenManage software versions 1.x through 4.2 are not
supported. You must manually uninstall Dell OpenManage software
versions 1.x through 4.2 before launching the latest Dell OpenManage
software installation. The installer will notify you if it detects
Dell OpenManage software versions 1.x through 4.2 on the system. Another
way of upgrading from these versions is to upgrade to version 4.3 first, then
upgrade to the current version.
NOTE: For Microsoft Windows, you can upgrade from version 4.3 to the current
version through a full Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) installation only and not
through a Service Pack (MSP).
Configuring a Supported Web Browser
For a list of supported Web browsers, see "Minimum Supported Web Browser
Requirements."
If you are connecting to a Web-based interface from a management station that
connects to a network through a proxy server, configure the Web browser to
connect properly. See your Web browser’s documentation for more information.
NOTE: Ensure that the Web browser is set to bypass the proxy server for local
addresses.
