* Do not run other applications while executing Dell Update Packages.
* For firmware Dell Update Packages, an update package will not
inventory the device if only a native non-Dell driver is installed.
Therefore firmware update packages cannot upgrade a device with a
native driver.
* If the following error displays,
"Error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory",
install the compatibility libraries from your Linux distribution.
To install the compatibility libraries, use the following command:
"RPM -ih compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm"
* When Update Packages stop abruptly due to a power outage or
abnormal termination, perform the following steps:
- Remove the lock file.
- Type the following command: "rm -f /var/lock/.spsetup"
- Run the Update Package again.
* If you encounter the message, "This Update Package is not compatible
with any of the devices detected on your system", for a supported
device, ensure that you have the latest Dell drivers for
your system from the Dell Support website at "www.support.dell.com."
* Some distributions of Linux may automatically mount a USB flash
drive with the "-noexec" option. This prevents the execution of any
file on that drive, including Dell Update Packages. If you are
attempting to run a Dell Update Package off of a USB flash drive
under Linux, and are experiencing problems, remount the drive
without the "-noexec" option, or copy the Dell Update Package to a
drive mounted without the "-noexec" option.

Unified Server Configurator (USC) Dell Update Packages (DUPs)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* For the first time, before you attempt to run Driver Package
Diagnostics DUPs, you must execute the USC DUP.
* Before running any DUPs need to make sure there are no external devices
mounted to /media or /tmp.
* If the operating system is installed from "Operating
System Deployment", select "Reboot and Exit" in the USC
environment before booting to the operating system. This closes
the USC session which is held for 18 hours. If you do not want to
enter the USC and select "Reboot and Exit", but still want to
execute the DUPs within 18 hours, unplug the power supply of the
