Dell Server Updates 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 Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU).

DUPs allow administrators to update a wide range of system components simultaneously and apply scripts to similar sets

of Dell systems to bring system software components to the same version levels.

SUU is an application that identifies and applies updates to your system. 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 Dell OpenManage Server Administrator for your system.

For more information on DUPs and SUU, see the Dell Update Packages User's Guide and the Dell OpenManage Server

Update Utility User's Guide respectively on the Dell Support website at

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/omswrels/index.htm.

For more information on the subscription service, see www.dell.com/openmanagesubscription or contact your sales

representative.
