Enable System Cache

2. Click the Cache tab.
3. Select Enable Read Cache and/or Enable Write Cache.
4. Click OK.
Check for Additional Updates
After the update is complete, check for Storage Center updates that may have become available after the
Storage Center release.
1. From the Storage Management menu, select System→ Update→ Update Status.
2. Click Check Now. As Storage Center checks for updates, status appears in the Update Status wizard.
3. If an update is available, follow the installation instructions. If the software update process is
complete, use SupportAssist to send diagnostic data to Dell Technical Support Services.
