Firmware Update 23

Firmware Update

The Firmware Update module in the Dell™ Systems Build and Update

Utility enables you to update the BIOS and firmware versions of your Dell

systems in a pre-operating system environment. This module:

• inventories your system (BIOS, firmware, and drivers)

• enables you to select your own repository (To learn more about the

repository, see "What is the Repository?")

• generates a comparison report (comparison of the currently installed

version of each component on the existing system with the repository

component version for the same system.)

• enables you to upgrade the system components

How do I Access Firmware Update?

From the

Dell Systems Build and Update Utility Home

page, click

Firmware Update

The Repository Selection screen in the Firmware Update module

displays.

2 Specify either the local or the remote repository location where your

update files reside.

The

Firmware Update

inventories your system, generates a comparison

report, and applies update packages to your system in step-by-step manner.

NOTE: For more information on the specific Firmware Update screens and what

you can do on each screen, see the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility online
