* Do not run other applications while executing Dell Update Packages.

* A BIOS update requires enough free physical memory to load the entire BIOS image into physical memory. If, for whatever reason, there is not enough free physical memory available on the system to load the BIOS image, the Dell Update Package for BIOS update may fail. In this instance, the BIOS can be updated by the floppy diskette method, by running the Dell Update Package after adding more memory, or by running the Dell Update Package immediately after a reboot.

* BIOS update is not supported on a PowerEdge R210 with BIOS version 1.0.33, 1.2.1, or 1.1.4 installed. BIOS versions earlier than 1.3.4 do not support the online update method used by the DUP process   on the PowerEdge R210 under Window Server 2008R2.
