Dell Management Console
Dell Management Console is a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI),
that is installed on a management station in a network.
Dell Management Console allows you to import Dell Update Packages
(DUPs) into a local repository of your management station and compare the
package versions.
You can update systems that are not in compliance, either immediately or
according to a schedule you define by using SUU.

to update the hardware and software components of your managed system.
To use the Patch Management feature:
1
Insert the Dell Server Updates DVD into the DVD drive.
2 Double-click the Dell Management Console icon on your system’s
desktop.
3 Click Home,  and then, Patch Management for Dell Servers Home .

NOTE: If you have the notification server and your managed systems inside
your organization's firewall, set up a proxy server to provide a safe way to
obtain patches or download solutions from external websites.
