Setting up a Source Catalog from the DRM welcome page

In case, you are using the Dell Repository Manager for the first time, you must populate the database.

You can select one of the following options:

location.

To set up a source catalog:

1. Launch the Dell Repository Manager.

the latest Dell Online catalog. If you have updated to the latest DRM version on a system (that had

DRM v1.5 or greater), you can sync the database and update it to the latest version of the catalog

using this feature.

b. Sync Database with Local Source Catalog — If you have a local copy of the Dell Online Catalog,

which can be accessed by DRM (from

Application → Settings → Source Repository), then use

this option to populate the DRM database.

repertories using DRM.
