Benefits of Dell OpenManage Enterprise Update Manager

Using Update Manager keeps your systems up to date with the latest or older firmware and selective windows drivers releases by:

  • Keeping the repositories up to date for updating the systems.
  • Allowing manual or automatic updates of a catalog present in a repository.
  • Customizing a repository by importing or deleting new or old update packages.
  • Generating a baseline for a repository which can be used to update firmware of the components in the repository.

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