Updating the Universal Unique Identifier and DMI/SMBIOS data
This topic provides information about updating the Universal Unique Identifier and DMI/SMBIOS data on the server.
After the standard I/O book is replaced, you must update the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) and DMI/SMBIOS data in the integrated management module (IMM) on the new standard I/O book board. You can use the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) and any of the following access methods to update the UUID and DMI/SMBIOS data:
- Locally (in-band)
- Through the Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface
- Through the LAN over USB interface
- Remotely over a LAN
You can use the ASU under any supported operating system, or you can use the Bootable Media Creator or a Windows- or Linux-based toolkit to create bootable media that contains the ASU. For information about the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU), see the Advanced Settings Utility User's Guide and instructions for downloading and unpacking the ASU code at the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) for Lenovo x86 servers website.
For instructions for updating the UUID and DMI/SMBIOS data, using the different methods for accessing the IMM, see Locally: Keyboard Controller Style (KCS), Locally: LAN over USB, and Remotely over a LAN. The following conventions apply to the command syntax:
- Variables are shown in italics.
- Optional parameters are enclosed in brackets ([ ]). Do not type the brackets in the commands. If you omit an optional parameter, the default is used.
- Although the command syntax is shown in mixed case, the commands are not case sensitive.
