Owners Manual

• Hard Dependency — Dependency that must be applied in order to apply the correct update. Once

you select the primary component to be installed, by default these components are selected and the

fields are greyed out.

• Soft Dependency — Dependency that needs to be applied in order to use certain new features

coming with the update. You have the option to select this component as these are not mandatory.

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.
