Dell Technologies carefully evaluates and monitors code deployment data to ensure product releases meet our
stringent expectations to provide our customers with reliable products and solutions.

What is Target Code.

• Target Code is a specific revision of code that has met a minimum number of run time hours, installs and
upgrades, and has demonstrated stability through customer usage.
• Target Code moves forward regularly as newer releases meet the criteria.
• Target Code is set at the third decimal place, and customers are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
available patch level from the ‘Drivers and Download’ section of the Product Support Page.
• If a software version has recently been promoted to Target code, then “Latest Code” and “Target Code” for
the product may be at the same revision of code.

What is Long Term Support Release (LTS):

• An LTS release is a stable software release that is maintained with regular cadence of updates over a period
of 3 years to ensure persistence for customers who seek a standard code line. LTS code lines offer support
for a span of 3 years.
• New LTS code lines are initiated annually.
• LTS releases are set at the third number, and customers are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
maintenance update from the ‘Drivers and Download’ section of the Product Support Page.
• Products following LTS will have no Target Code.
• To learn more about LTS, refer to LTS Customer Support Summary document.

Compatibility and Interoperability Solution: Please visit E-Lab Navigator for compatibility and Interoperability information
on Target code/ Latest code for hardware and software configurations

Please contact Dell Technical Support regarding the proper upgrade path for your product.
