Lenovo ThinkPad R400 - Manual (Page 176)

Utilities reside in the staging area (service partition or network-staging folder) and
do not get installed on an active partition. Little preparation is required for the
source files. The following are the only requirements:
v The utility must be in a ready-to-run format. It cannot require an installation
process.
v The utility must be placed in a dedicated folder on a drive that is accessible by
the ImageUltra Builder console.
v The utility folder structure must be maintained.
When the source files meet these requirements, you can set the attributes for the
new utility.
Setting the attributes for a new utility module
The following information describes how to set the attributes for a new
device-driver module without using an existing module as a template. If you want
to set the attributes for a new module to match the attributes of an existing
module, see “Setting the attributes based on an existing utility module” on page
163.
1. Open the repository where you want the new utility module to reside.
2. If your repository has folders, navigate to the folder where you want the
Utility module to reside.
3. From the Main Window menu bar, click Insert and then click Utility... . The
New Module Wizard opens.
4. Click Next .
5. Verify that the Utility radio button is selected, and then click Next .

in the “Encryption key for the password” field.

an encryption key, the ImageUltra Builder program assigns a
password to the module. Encryption keys can be up to 64 characters
long using any combination of alpha-numeric characters. Symbols
