Installing Device Drivers

DUPs update BIOS, firmware, drivers, and applications. If a device driver is not present in the system,

DUPs allow you to perform fresh installation of the driver. You can install the driver provided the

supported hardware is present.

Interactive Mode

In an interactive mode, if a fresh installation is applicable, DUP displays a message to install the driver

along with the version of the package. Click Yes to install the package. Installation results are logged in

the DUP Message Logs.

Non-Interactive Mode

When a fresh installation is applicable, executing DUPs with the /s switch installs the driver.

For example, packagename.exe /s and packagename.exe /s /r performs fresh installation of driver DUPs.

NOTE: Not all driver DUPs support fresh installation. See the Dell Update Packages for Microsoft

Windows Operating Systems readme file for the list of drivers that do not support fresh installation.

Installation Order of DUPs

If you are installing multiple DUPs, install the updates that require a reboot at the end. For recommended
