Allowing manual or automatic updates of a catalog present in a repository.
Customizing a repository by importing or deleting update packages.

A repository consists of system bundles and their associated Dell Update Packages (DUP). A system bundle is a software collection that can be grouped to arrange the related updates that are applicable to same target platform and having the same format. A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package format that updates a specific software element on a Dell server or storage such as the BIOS, a device driver, firmware, and other similar software updates. These bundles and repositories allow the deployment of multiple firmware updates at once. Update Manager supports Dell Update Packages (DUPs) in .EXE format.
