About Dell OpenManage Server Update

Utility

Dell OpenManage Server Update Utility (SUU) is an application available in ISO for identifying and applying

updates to the system. SUU is no longer DVD-based application, copy the ISO onto a USB drive or on the

network drive.

You can use SUU to update the Dell PowerEdge system or to view the updates available for system that

supports SUU. SUU compares the versions of components currently installed on the system with the

versions of the components packaged on the Dell PowerEdge Server Update Utility media.

SUU displays a comparison report of the versions and provides various options for updating the

components.

NOTE: Only users with administrator (Microsoft Windows) or root (Linux) privileges can perform

updates using SUU.

NOTE: SUU carries updates only for Dell’s 10th generation to Dell’s 13th generation of PowerEdge

servers. The SUU ISO is split into four for Microsoft Windows 32–bit and 64– bit and Linux 32–bit

and 64–bit operating system.
