Alert On Lan - Lenovo Aptiva Hardware Maintenance Manual

The customer has the option to purchase serial number
information and services from Retain-a-Group. It is the
customer's responsibility to maintain the MIF file and to
inform Retain-a-Group of any changes to the file.
Some customers may request their servicers to assist
them in maintaining the MIF file when serialized
components are replaced during hardware service. This
assistance is between the customer and the servicer. The
servicer can use the DMI MIF Browser to update the MIF
information in the EPROM. It is anticipated that some
servicers might charge for this service.
To update the EPROM using the DMI MIF Browser:
1. Click Start from the desktop, then Programs.
2. Select IBM SystemView Agent.
3. Select Serial Number Information icon.
4. Click the plus sign to expand.
5. Select the component you want to view or edit.
6. Double click on the component you want to change.
7. Enter new data in the Value field, then click Apply.
