Dell Repository Manager is an application that allows you to create customized bundles and repositories on systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system. The customized bundles and repositories are made up of Dell Update Packages (DUPs) based on certain specified criteria. DUPs are software utilities provided by Dell to update specific software components on Dell PowerEdge systems. Using Repository Manager ensures that your Dell PowerEdge system is equipped with the latest BIOS, driver, firmware, and software updates.

Repository Manager can be installed on any system (desktop, laptop, server) running Microsoft Windows. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 must be installed on the system on which you install Repository Manager.
