The driver CABs are updated based on the release schedule and in response to customer requirements.
Now, customers can compare the previous and current versions of driver CAB and identify the change
using a delta report. For example, customers can verify if the current driver CAB contains all applicable
latest drivers’ support or not.
Delta Report is the report created by Dell engineers and is the basis for finding applicable, new, and
updated driver candidates for a driver CAB release. A delta report contains the following information:
- Current driver CAB details and quick download link
- Device driver support of previous driver CAB
- Device driver support of current driver CAB
- Highlights changes to device driver support of the current driver CAB compare to the previous driver CAB
Note: Device driver support of a CAB release is decided on various factors such as applicability of a
device to model, readiness of the driver operating system deployment, etc.
Like driver CAB releases, delta report release aligns with the release schedule. All new driver CAB
releases will have a delta report associated on Dell TechCenter site. Customers can navigate to
delta report by accessing links associated to a driver pack on the Driver CAB Homepage.
