e. Click User’s guides and manuals to link to the ASU Users Guide. v Remote LAN access, type the command:

Note: When using the remote LAN access method to access IMM using the LAN from a client, the host and the imm_external_ip address are required parameters.

host <imm_external_ip> [user <imm_user_id>[[password <imm_password>] Where:

imm_external_ip

The external IMM LAN IP address. There is no default value. This parameter is required.

imm_user_id

The IMM account (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is USERID.

imm_password

The IMM account password (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is PASSW0RD (with a zero 0 not an O).

The following commands are examples of using the user ID and password default values and not using the default values:

Example that does not use the user ID 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>

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. To download the ASU and update the DMI, complete the following steps.

1.Download the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU):

a.Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.

b.Enter your product number (machine type and model number) or select Servers and Storage from the Select your product list.

c.From Family list, select ThinkServer RS210;, and click Continue.

d.Click Downloads and drivers to link to the ASU program.

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)

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
