Customers are advised to update systems at the end of each quarter, such as at the end of March, June, September, or December. The benefits of this cadence include maintaining device security and performance, minimizing discruption to critical operations, and allowing sufficient time for preparation, testing, and deployment. Aligning updates with quarter-ends helps in efficient resource allocation for IT teams and planning updates alongside regular business reviews and assessments.
Note: Stay connected with the Dell Technologies teams. By going to Dell.com -> Support -> Product Support, one can see the latest code available for their device. You will receive updates on when to perform firmware upgrades. Please be aware that not every upgrade must be applied to every system.
Dell Technologies tests and validates every update thoroughly and completely.
