The Search Dell Support Site screen is displayed.
On the Search Dell Support Site screen, under Search Method, select the Brand option and select the type of device.

to the selected items list. The model(s) selected are displayed on
the right.

All file formats — You can
download all the non DUP files to the system by choosing this option,
but you cannot import other non DUP files to the local repository.
Click Search.
The Searching for Latest updates window is displayed. This may take several minutes to generate the
list of all the updates, depending on the number of updates.

view the details of individual updates. The Dell Update
Package column displays whether the update is a DUP or
non-DUP file. You can download or export a DUP file to the local system
as well as a component for an existing or a new repository. You can
also download the non-DUP files to the system, however, you cannot
export the non-DUP files.
