Updating drivers and admin apps on a Dell server

article #174, updated 5005 days ago

We have three stages so far.

  1. Go to support.dell.com, and hunt around for the SUU with items for your particular server model.  “SUU” is what Dell is calling it, it stands for “Server Update Utility”.  You’ll be able to build a complete ISO of a DVD.
  2. The “Dell OpenManage Server Administrator” is often the only source of chipset drivers, and it is sometimes not visible on the drivers page for the server.  At this writing, the best method to find the current version appears to be this Google search.
  3. Check the individual downloads for your server, too.

A bit out of date, but still quite useful to help us figure out what to do, is this page:
