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.
About this task
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, complete the
following steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
Procedure
1. Download the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) at http://www.ibm.com/
support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL-ASU.
2. ASU sets the DMI in the Integrated Management Module (IMM). Select one of
the following methods to access the Integrated Management Module (IMM) to
set the DMI:
v Online from the target system (LAN or keyboard console style (KCS) access)
v Remote access to the target system (LAN based)
v Bootable media containing ASU (LAN or KCS, depending upon the bootable
media)
3. Copy and unpack the ASU package, which also includes other required files, to
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
