● Recommended: Dell recommends applying this update during your next scheduled update cycle. The update contains feature

enhancements or changes that will help keep your system software current and compatible with other system modules

(firmware, BIOS, drivers and software).

● Urgent: Dell highly recommends applying this update as soon as possible. The update contains changes to improve the

reliability and availability of your Dell system.

● Optional: Dell recommends the customer review specifics about the update to determine if it applies to your system. The

update contains changes that impact only certain configurations, or provides new features that may or may not apply to your
