NOTE: In certain scenarios, for a complete update or upgrade, you have to install two and more

DUPs. In such scenarios, sometimes you have to restart the system to complete the update of

previously installed DUPs.

Adding Components

You can add components from repositories to the repository you select. Before you can add

components, you must download them and save them to a specific location.

To add components:

• Importing Dell Update Packages (DUPs)

• Importing Non- Dell Update Package (Non DUPs)

NOTE: For a successful DUP import, the DUP and its dependent DUPs must be in the same folder.
