IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program

Use this program as an alternative to the Setup utility for modifying UEFI settings

and IMM settings. Use the ASU program online or out-of-band to modify UEFI

settings from the command line without the need to restart the server to access

the Setup utility. For information about using this program, see “IBM Advanced

Settings Utility program” on page 116.

Using the Setup utility

Use the Setup utility, formerly called the Configuration/Setup Utility program, to

perform the following tasks:

View configuration information

View and change assignments for devices and I/O ports

Set the date and time

Set the startup characteristics of the server and the order of startup devices

Set and change settings for advanced hardware features

View, set, and change settings for power-management features

View and clear error logs
