5. Restart the server.

Updating the DMI/SMBIOS data

The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) must be updated when the system board
is replaced. Use the Advanced Settings Utility to update the DMI in the UEFI-based
server. The ASU is an online tool that supports several operating systems. Make
sure that you download the version for your operating system. You can download
the ASU from the IBM website. To download the ASU and update the DMI, go to
http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.
1. ASU sets the DMI in the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2). Select one
2. Copy and unpack the ASU package, which also includes other required files, to
3. After you install ASU, Type the following commands to set the DMI:
Example that does not use the userid and password default values:
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoUUID <uuid_value> --host <imm_ip>
--user <user_id> --password <password>
Example that does use the userid and password default values:
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoUUID <uuid_value> --host <imm_ip>
v Bootable media:
You can also build a bootable media using the applications available through
the Tools Center website at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/
v1r0/index.jsp. From the left pane, click IBM System x and BladeCenter

of the following methods to access the Integrated Management Module II
(IMM2) to set the DMI:

v Remote access to the target system (LAN based)
v Bootable media containing ASU (LAN or KCS, depending upon the bootable
media)
the server. Make sure that you unpack the ASU and the required files to the
same directory. In addition to the application executable (asu or asu64), the
following files are required:
v For Windows based operating systems:
– ibm_rndis_server_os.inf
– device.cat
v For Linux based operating systems:
– cdc_interface.sh
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <m/t_model> [access_method]
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdIdentifier <system model> [access_method]
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum <s/n> [access_method]
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag <asset_tag> [access_method]
Where:
<m/t_model>
The server machine type and model number. Type mtm xxxxyyy, where
xxxx is the machine type and yyy is the server model number.
< system model>
The system model. Type system yyyyyyy, where yyyyyyy is the product
identifier such as x3550M3.
