Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility

The Dell Server Update Utility (SUU) is an application (available in both DVD or .iso format) for identifying

updates available for systems that it supports. The application compares the versions of components

currently installed on the system with the available updates for those components. You can download

SUU from dell.com/support/manuals or order it as part of the OpenManage Subscription Kit.

Additionally, use Dell Repository Manager to create a customized SUU that contains only the updates

available for the systems that are managed.
