A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package format that updates a single software element on the system. Using DUPs, you can update a wide range of system components simultaneously and apply scripts to similar sets of Dell systems to bring the system components to the same version levels.
You can use DUPs to:
- Apply an individual update to a system by using an interactive command line interface (CLI).
- Install device drivers in interactive and non-interactive modes.
- Execute multiple updates on the system by using a script comprised of non-interactive commands that you write using the CLI feature.
- Leverage the scheduling of your operating system and software distribution utilities to apply updates remotely to any number of systems.
DUPs are available for the following software components:
- System BIOS
- System firmware, also known as the Embedded Systems Management (ESM) firmware
- Network firmware and drivers
- Remote Access Controller (RAC) firmware
- RAID controller firmware and device drivers
- Software RAID 3.0 (S130) driver
- Hard-disk drives (HDDs), Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), and solid-state drives (SSDs)
- Lifecycle Controller
- Dell Diagnostics and Driver Pack
- Backplane and Expander
- Tape drives
- Enclosures (MD12xx, MD14xx)
- OS Collector
- Chipset Drivers
DUP supports the Dell PowerEdge FD332 servers.
