Overview
The Dell Repository Manager (DRM) ensures that the Dell systems are up-to-date with the latest BIOS, driver, firmware,
and software. DRM allows you to:
• Create repositories of customized component(s) and updates.
• Create groups of related updates for systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system
• Generate comparison reports and update baselines of custom repositories
The customized repositories are made up of Dell Update Packages (DUPs). DUPs are software utilities provided by Dell
to update specific software and firmware components on Dell desktops, and Dell laptops. You can arrange these
components to group the related updates together. Every repository has a catalog.xml or catalog.cab file that specifies
the contents of that repository. The catalog.cab file, downloaded from ftp.dell.com, is digitally signed by Dell to ensure
system security.
The Business Client Version manages repositories on Dell Precision Workstations, Dell Latitude, or Dell Optiplex
systems.
NOTE: Dell Repository Manager can only be installed on systems running the Microsoft Windows operating
system.
