Procedures" in "LCCM V2.0 Training and Procedure Guide" (G10L-9830-0) when CMOS update on ThinkPad using LCCM is performed. Creating a CMOS Settings Image (for ThinkPad user) 1. At a donor workstation: a. Start up the workstation and access the Easy-Setup or IBM BIOS Setup Utility program. (you can access this program by pressing F1 during the power-on self-test (POST)). b. Change and save the desired setting as required. c. Exit from the Easy-setup or IBM BIOS Setup Utility program and restart the workstation. Ensure that the workstation starts up and functions properly. 2. Rename the SRCMOS.EXE.(refer to the table below to rename the program name.) => 'SRCMOS' + 'xx' + '.EXE' xx: system board identifier (two character) 3. Use the SRCMOSxx.EXE program to save the current settings of the donor workstation to a file named with the .CMS extension. At a Command Prompt, enter: > SRCMOSxx \path\file_name.CMS /create (/capture) 4. Copy SRCMOSxx.EXE and .CMS file to the corresponding BIOS directory on your server which is named: C:\LCCM_install_dir\BIOS\Flash_BIOS_Name where the 'Flash_BIOS_Name' directory is the name of the BIOS level on your donor workstation (unless this was changed by the system administrator during the Read BIOS Flash diskette process). Note: When you are not able to get the BIOS update diskette: a. Check the "Current BIOS Level" of the Maintenance page of the Individual Client Details notebook. b. Create the directory under the \LCCM_install_dir\BIOS which has the same name to "Current BIOS Level". For example, if "Current BIOS Level" is IBUJ01WW, the required directory is: \LCCM_installed_dir\BIOS\IBUJ01WW c. Copy SRCMOSxx.EXE and .CMS file to above directory. You must uncheck the "Update BIOS" check box of the Maintenance page. (Check the "Update CMOS with file" check box only) ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Product name | BIOS level name | CMOS over LAN | | | (Flash_BIOS_Name) | program name | |-------------------------|--------------------|------------------| | ThinkPad 380Z | IGUJaabb | SRCMOSIG.EXE | | ThinkPad 390E | R0x_xx | SRCMOSR0.EXE | | ThinkPad 390X | ISBxxxbb | SRCMOSIS.EXE | | ThinkPad 560Z | IEUJaabb | SRCMOSIE.EXE | | ThinkPad 570 | IMUJaabb | SRCMOSIM.EXE | | ThinkPad 570E | IUUJaabb | SRCMOSIU.EXE | | ThinkPad 600 | IBUJaabb | SRCMOSIB.EXE | | ThinkPad 600E (*1) | IHUJaabb | SRCMOSIH.EXE | | ThinkPad 600E (*2) | INUJaabb | SRCMOSIN.EXE | | ThinkPad 600X | ITUJaabb | SRCMOSIT.EXE | | ThinkPad 770/770E/770ED | IDUJaabb | SRCMOSID.EXE | | ThinkPad 770X | IIUJaabb | SRCMOSII.EXE | | ThinkPad 770Z | IOUJaabb | SRCMOSIO.EXE | | ThinkPad A20p | IVUJaabb | SRCMOSIV.EXE | | ThinkPad A20m | IWUJaabb | SRCMOSIW.EXE | | ThinkPad A21p | KYUJaabb | SRCMOSKY.EXE | | ThinkPad A21m | KXUJaabb | SRCMOSKX.EXE | | ThinkPad A21e | KUUJaabb | SRCMOSKU.EXE | | ThinkPad T20 | IYUJaabb | SRCMOSIY.EXE | | ThinkPad T21 | KZUJaabb | SRCMOSKZ.EXE | | ThinkPad X20 | IZUJaabb | SRCMOSIZ.EXE | ----------------------------------------------------------------- aa: version, bb: country code (*1) 2645 - 55*, A5U, BA*(except for BAU), BB*, JJ1, JJ2, RRA (*2) 2645 - 3**, 4**, 5A*, 5B*, 5J*, 8**, AAU, AL*, AM*, BAU, C**, 2645 - D**, E**, F**, G**, I**, JJ3, M**, P**, R**(except for RRA), 2645 - SS*, U** 2646 - All models Trademarks ---------- * IBM, ThinkPad and LANClient Control Manager are registered trademarks of IBM Corporation.
