Working With Components
Components are also known as Dell Update Packages (DUPs). DUPs are self-

software element on the system. They are used for updating the Basic Input
Output System (BIOS), firmware, Redundant Array of Independent Disks
(RAID) controller firmware, and drivers on specific platforms.

the list of components based on file name, type, version, criticality, and the date
on which the component was created.
The name of the repository to which the
bundles belong, appears at the top of the Components list.
You can view the number of components in the list and the number of
components you select, at the top of the list. The numbers are displayed in
the format:
