The Dell™ Systems Build and Update Utility (SBUU) CD includes a single tool to enable basic life cycle management of Dell systems:

• Simple OS Installation
• Firmware and BIOS Update
• Hardware Configuration (scriptable and GUI)
• Server Update Utility (custom and complete)

On Dell servers newer than the 11th generation (11G - released in 2009), the on-board bootable Unified Server Configurator (A component of the Lifecycle Controller) provides similar functionality to SBUU without the need for a CD.
