image for the previous version has already been deleted because the same version overlaid the previous version. In
MAS022 partition every device has a folder; the name of the folder is same with the unique component ID of the device.
Under the component ID folder, two folders named as
current and previous are created, where current folder has the
payload which was flashed recently and previous folder carries the payload which was flashed earlier.
Installing Device Drivers
DUPs update BIOS, firmware, drivers, and applications. If a device driver is not present in the system, DUPs allow you to
do a fresh installation of the driver. You can install the driver provided the supported hardware is present.
Interactive Mode
In interactive mode, if a fresh installation is applicable, DUP displays a message to install the driver along with the
version of the package. Click Yes
to install the package. Installation results are logged in the
DUP Message Logs.
Non-Interactive Mode
When a fresh installation is applicable, executing DUPs with the /s switch installs the driver.
For example,
packagename.exe /s and packagename.exe /s /r does a fresh installation of driver DUPs.
NOTE
: Not all driver DUPs support fresh installation. See the Dell Update Packages for Microsoft Windows
Operating Systems readme file for the list of drivers that do not support fresh installation.

chmod +x packagename.bin
• Verify that the package meets the prerequisites for performing an update. To perform the check, type the
following command:

other method is called as Script method. Use this method if you want to run one or more updates from a script in
non-interactive mode.

Certain DUPs may require the latest OpenIPMI Linux device drivers to be installed on the system. If you are prompted
during installation to obtain the latest drivers, seesupport.dell.com or download the latest drivers from the Linux support
site.
