Dependency Installation
Dell Command | Update uses update packages to determine the latest updates for a system. An update
package contains feature enhancements or changes in BIOS, firmware, drivers, and software. In most
cases, the update is self-sufficient and executes the pre-installation and applicable dependencies. If the
existing version of the Dell Command | Update on the system is an old version, it may have to be
upgraded to a later version before it is updated to the recommended version. You can check for
upgrades of the update using Dell Command | Update until the recommended version is installed.
For example, consider that your system has version A01 of BIOS installed and version A05 is available for
update. But, to update to A05 you must first update the system to version A03. Dell Command | Update
updates the system to version A03 before upgrading it to version A05.
