How do I upgrade an ESXi installation with the Dell Customized ISO?

We have a Dell Poweredge server running ESXi 4.1 U1 that was installed using Dell's customized ESXi ISO. Now we would like to upgrade to 4.1 U2 and upgrade any Dell specific bits that were installed.



I downloaded the 4.1 U2 Dell Customized ISO and tried to install over the existing installation but it doesn't look like I can do that non-destructively.




I tried upgrading using VMware's Update Manager, and that upgrades the ESXi installation, but I don't think it upgrades the Dell specific bits.
