This is not an appropriate suggestion for those running older systems like CentOS 5. While that version is deprecated and not supported in the new DSU, it was working and should continue working when still using the older hardware repo. As it is now, I can't do any installs of dell packages on a CentOS 5 system as it cannot find any of the srvadmin packages.
