IBM
Advanced
Settings
Utility
program
The
IBM
Advanced
Settings
Utility
(ASU)
program
is
an
alternative
to
the
Setup
utility
for
modifying
UEFI
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.
You
can
also
use
the
ASU
program
to
configure
the
optional
remote
presence
features
or
other
IMM
settings.
The
remote
presence
features
provide
enhanced
systems-management
capabilities.
In
addition,
the
ASU
program
provides
limited
settings
for
the
IPMI
function
in
the
IMM
through
the
command-line
interface.
Use
the
command-line
interface
to
issue
setup
commands.
You
can
save
any
of
the
settings
as
a
file
and
run
the
file
as
a
script.
The
ASU
program
supports
scripting
environments
through
a
batch-processing
mode.

must
meet

or
Windows
Server
2008
is
installed
on
the
server
where
you
intend
to
install
the
Core

v
The
original
Windows
Server
operating
system
installation
CDs
are
available
in
case
files
are
needed
while
installing
the
prerequisites.
