Upgrading Your Systems Management Software with the Dell OpenManage Server
Support Kit Version 4.3
All future Dell OpenManage updates will be based on Dell OpenManage 4.3 technologies.
Because version 4.4 and later will not upgrade Dell OpenManage versions prior to version 4.3,
Dell highly recommends upgrading your Dell OpenManage products to version 4.3. The
installation procedure saves your current system settings and upgrades your PowerEdge systems
to Dell OpenManage 4.3. This process ensures that your PowerEdge systems are running the
latest software and firmware updates.
Dell OpenManage Server Support Kit Version 4.3 Contents
To simplify and improve software installation and server management, the Dell OpenManage
products are organized onto four separate CDs. Each CD contains the appropriate software
products for a particular task, simplifying software installation and systems management.
Table 1 provides a description of each Dell OpenManage customer kit CD and its contents.
Use Figure 1 to locate the appropriate Dell OpenManage products that are referenced in your
Dell documentation.
