Setup Guide

Introduction

This guide describes how to quickly install the Dell Repository Manager (Repository Manager) on

desktops, laptops, or servers running the supported version of Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Repository Manager is available in two run-time modes:

• Data Center Version — For managing repositories for Dell server and selected storage systems.

• Business Client Version — For managing repositories for Dell Latitude, OptiPlex and Precision systems.

NOTE: .NET is one of the software prerequisites for the Dell Repository Manager. DRM supports

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (or greater) full version.

In case, you do not have .NET installed in the system, DRM helps you to install the latest .NET Framework.

Ensure you have internet connectivity before installing .NET using Dell Repository Manager. You have the

option to click Cancel to exit without installing .NET Framework, however this terminates the Dell

Repository Manager installation procedure.
