Locally: Keyboard Controller Style (KCS)

This section describes the keyboard controller style interface.

This access method uses the IPMI/KCS interface. The IPMI driver must be installed; with some operating systems, the IPMI driver is installed by default. The ASU provides the corresponding mapping layer.

To update the UUID, in the ASU command-line interface, enter the following command:

asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoUUID uuid

where uuid is the user-assigned hexadecimal value, up to 16 bytes, that identifies the server.

To update the DMI/SMBIOS data, complete the following steps:

1. In the ASU command-line interface, enter the following command:

   asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName xxxxyyy

   where:

   xxxx

   is the 4-digit machine type of the server.

   yyy

   is the 3-digit model number of the server.

2. Enter the following command:

   asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum zzzzzzz

   where zzzzzzz is the 7-character serial number of the server.

3. Enter the following command:

   asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

   where aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is the 33-character asset tag number of the server.
