The ASU is an online tool that supports several operatingsystems. Make sure that you download the version for your operating system. Youcan download the ASU from the IBM Web site. To download the ASU and updatethe DMI, complete the following steps.Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual proceduremight vary slightly from what is described in this document.1. Download the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU):a. Go tohttp://www.ibm.com/supportportal/ .b. Click on the Downloads tab at the top of the panel.c. Under ToolsCenter, select View ToolsCenter downloads.d. Select Advanced Settings Utility (ASU).e. Scroll down and click on the link and download the ASU version for youroperating system.2. ASU sets the DMI in the Integrated Management Module (IMM). Select one ofthe following methods to access the Integrated Management Module (IMM) toset 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 bootablemedia)Note: IBM provides a method for building a bootable media. You can createa bootable media using the Bootable Media Creator (BoMC) application fromthe Tools Center Web site. In addition, the Windows and Linux based toolkits are also available to build a bootable media. These tool kits provide analternate method to creating a Windows Professional Edition or MasterControl Program (MCP) based bootable media, which will include the ASUapplication.3. Copy and unpack the ASU package, which also includes other required files, tothe server. Make sure that you unpack the ASU and the required files to thesame directory. In addition to the application executable (asu or asu64), thefollowing files are required:v For Windows based operating systems:– ibm_rndis_server_os.inf– device.catv For Linux based operating systems:– cdc_interface.sh4. After you install ASU, Type the following commands to set the DMI:asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName [access_method]asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum [access_method]asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag [access_method]Where:The server machine type and model number. Type mtm xxxxyyy, wherexxxx is the machine type and yyy is the server model number.Chapter 3. Configuration information and instructions 135
