Updating Firmware Using Dell Update Packages

Dell Update Packages (DUPs) are software utilities provided by Dell to update specific software
components on your Dell system. DUPs provide an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that
enables you to apply a software update to either a single system or, remotely, to multiple systems
using your organization's software distribution tools. DUPs run separately from Array Manager, so
you can use a DUP if Array Manager is not available on your host system. Dell provides DUPs for
the following operating systems:
• Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server
• Windows Server 2003
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Version 2.1)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Version 3) for Intel x86
