After the system board is replaced, you must update the
Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and DMI/SMBIOS data in the integrated
management module II (IMM2) on the new system board.
You can use the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) and any
of the following access methods:
- 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 ASU and instructions for downloading and unpacking the ASU
code, see the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) website and the Advanced Settings
Utility User's Guide.
The following sections
provide instructions for updating the UUID and DMI/SMBIOS data, using
the different methods for accessing the IMM2. 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.
