Using the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU)

You can use the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) to modify firmware settings from the command line on multiple operating systems, such as Linux, Windows, and Windows Professional Edition (PE).

You can use the ASU to perform the following tasks:
  • Modify selected firmware UEFI settings without restarting the blade server to access F1 settings.
  • Modify selected settings in integrated management module (IMM) based blade servers for the IMM firmware and IBMSystem x Server Firmware.
  • Modify a limited number of VPD settings on IMM-based blade servers.
  • Modify iSCSI boot settings.
