attempting to run a Dell Update Package from 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.  Dell Update Packages do not require new refreshes of existing DUPs to be reinstalled since the firmware or driver payload does not change when the DUP is refreshed. A new DUP is available if changes have been made to the firmware or driver payload.

"doDepCheck failed" For other USC access related DUPs (PSU, NIC, SAS, PERC, BackPlane), the update is successful but the following error message may be displayed: "… mount: block device /dev/secmasupd-SECUPD is write-protected … /bin/cp: cannot create regular file …"  When you try to execute DUPs on a 64-bit RHEL operating system, it fails to execute since DUP is a 32-bit application. To work around this issue, manually install the following RPMs: glibc.i686 compat-libstdc++.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib.
PAGE 7
BIOS - Staged update     BIOS updates require system services to be enabled. 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 want to execute the DUPs within 18 hours, unplug the power supply of the system, wait for 10 seconds, and then power on the system.
