thanks very much!
couple questions/concerns
Is there a way to find this naturally? ie by google or purely by navigating
Dell's web site
for example heading to general dell support page looking for dups and
following instructions on where to find them
https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/sln292342/updating-firmware-using-dell-update-packages-dups-?lang=en
follow links  to drivers and downloads for a R730 and ubu was not a
selectable OS

Second, how often is this DUP updated?

thanks again for this help, we run a decent bit of ubu and getting this
going will help greatly!
