NOTE:
Dell provides the Dell Update Package (DUP) to update drivers on systems running Windows Server 2016 and
newer operating system. DUP is an executable application that updates drivers for specific devices. DUP supports
command line interface and silent execution. For more information, see
Linux driver installation
The driver update disk (DUD) images are created only for those operating system releases in which the native (in-box) driver
is insufficient for installation. In the event that an operating system is being installed with a corresponding DUD image, see,
Installing or updating the RPM driver package with KMOD support
. If not, proceed with using the native device driver and then
