Question: I recently updated the BIOS on my system and now I would like
to go back to the previous version. Can I do this with DUP?
Answer: Yes. Download the DUP for the previous version of your system BIOS
from support.dell.com and install it. If a DUP is not available, use one of the
other formats on support.dell.com.
Question: Why does the DUP for the system BIOS require a reboot?
Answer: The BIOS update is applied only after you reboot your system.
I'd like to apply several updates to my system at once. Can I do this with
DUPs? Do I need to be concerned about the order in which I apply the
updates?
Answer: Yes, you can apply multiple updates to your system at the same time.
See Table 1-1 for information about the update order.
Question: If I rename Windows DUPs, will they still function correctly?
Answer: Yes.

Answer: No. DUPs contain logic to guard against potential corruption of their
contents. Because of this design, DUPs cannot be modified.

Question: Can I use any other program to inspect or extract the contents
of DUPs?
