Introduction

The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files that you can use

to deploy and configure the Dell systems. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying large number of

systems on a pre-operating system environment in a reliable way, without changing their current deployment processes. Using DTK you

can install operating systems on Dell systems in BIOS or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode.
