The update was not successful because the target system already had the updated version or a lower version of the BIOS, driver, or firmware provided by the update package. To avoid receiving this error, administrators can provide the /f option.
The /f switch forces the installation of the update even if the
target system already has the same or a higher version of the BIOS, driver, or firmware provided by the update package. If this switch is not provided, then the update package aborts the update and leaves the current version untouched.
The /r switch tells the update package to reboot after the update is complete. If this switch is not provided, the package will not reboot the system even if a reboot is necessary for the update to take effect. In that case, the system must be rebooted at a later time for the update to take effect. Omitting the /r can provide efficiency
when administrators are installing multiple update
packages that require reboots; administrators can delay the reboot
until after the final package in the script has been run. Dell Update Packages also supply informative return codes that can be used to efficiently order the packages in the script, as well as to minimize the number of reboots required
