You can use the appliance to manage device updates from Dell.

These updates include:

•
Software and firmware for servers
•
Software and firmware for client devices
•
Some Dell-supplied applications
* 
NOTE: Server and client devices refer to Dell server and client hardware, not to their server or client OS.

Any Dell devices that need to be updated must have the Dell Open Manage Inventory Agent installed, either the client or the server version, as applicable. This component is included in all Dell Updates by default and there is no need to add it manually. If the Dell Open Manage inventory client does not exist on a target device, it is installed during the first deployment process.

* 
NOTE: Dell hardware updates only work with the KACE Agent is 11.1 or higher. Older agent versions do not support this feature.

Run the Supported Dell Models report to see which Dell computers Dell Client Updates are supported for. See Running single-organization and consolidated reports.
