Release Notes

A minimum BIOS version is recommended on some of the platforms for all the DTK options to work
properly. In general, it is a good practice to use the latest ("n") version of BIOS firmware or the "n-1"
version that is available on "support.dell.com."
Installation Procedure
For complete installation and deployment instructions, see the "Dell OpenManage Deployment
Toolkit User's Guide."
Installation and Configuration Notes
The sample scripts are provided as examples for customers who want to develop their own
deployment process. Some customers may find that the scripts work well in their environment, while
some customers may need to develop their own scripts entirely from scratch. Customers deploying
multiple systems need to provide unique information for each server when appropriate. For example,
system host names, IP addresses, and BIOS asset tags need to be unique for each system. Modify the
batch scripts and configuration files to reflect the unique information for each system being
deployed. Many options are available to optimize this process.
Upgrading From Previous Versions
When upgrading from a previous release of the DTK, ensure that you create environment for the
new DTK version separately from the previous version of DTK. This step is necessary because the
environments and requirements for the new DTK versions are completely different.
