Working With Components

Dell Update Packages (DUPs) are also known as components. Also, we consider all the non-DUPs (such

as .exe, .msi, .bin or any other file formats) files as components. They are used for updating the Basic

Input Output System (BIOS), firmware, drivers on specific platforms and any other application.

The list of components you add appear in the Components tab. You can sort the list of components

based on Keyword Search, Update Type, Criticality, Brand, Supported Platforms, Component Version,

Operating System, Supported Devices, Release Date, and PCI Device Info.

You can view the number of components in the list and the number of components you select, at the

top of the list. The numbers are displayed in the Selected/Total: format:

You can add components from repositories to the repository you select. Before you can add

components, you must download them and save them to a specific location.
