About GUI Mode

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides an interactive approach to

perform comparisons and updates.

You can use the GUI to:

• View a Comparison Report that displays your system components and

applicable components in the repository.

• Perform an upgrade, downgrade, or a system set update.

• Browse the repository.

Performing Prerequisites Check

When you launch SUU by double-clicking suulauncher.exe, SUU scans your

system to determine if a hardware or software update is required.

NOTE: If you are using SUU version 2.0.0 or later and a newer version of SUU is

available, a warning message is displayed. You can either download the newer

version from the support.dell.com or continue using the current version.

If the components in your system do not meet the prerequisite conditions,

SUU displays the list of hardware or software components whose prerequisite

conditions are not met.

If the components in your system meet the prerequisite conditions, the

Comparison Report is displayed.
