IBM ThinkPad October 8, 1998 Remote CMOS Update Utility for LANClient Control Manager (LCCM) Version 1.00 ======================================================================== What This Program Does ----------------------- This program updates ThinkPad's CMOS data remotely using LCCM Version 2.0 or higher. Target Machine : ThinkPad supported by LCCM Version 2.0 or higher. (except ThinkPad 600E-3A*,4A*,5A*,8A*,4B*,5B* and 8B*) To determine if you have to update this program or not, please refer to the "Summary of Changes" section. To use this program, please refer to the "How to use" section. Released Versions ----------------- Version 1.00 Initial release Summary of Changes ------------------ Where: Diskette version (for example, 1.00 means Version 1.00) (New) New function or enhancement (Fix) Correction to existing function <1.00> -(New) Initial release. How to use ---------- This information is a supplement of "Creating a CMOS Settings Image" of "Chapter 4. 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 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 program and restart the workstation. Ensure that the workstation starts up and functions properly. 2. Use the SRCMOS.EXE program to save the current settings of the donor workstation to a file named with the .CMS extension. At a Command Prompt, enter: > SRCMOS \path\file_name.CMS /create (/capture) 3. Rename the SRCMOS.EXE.(refer to the table below to rename the program name.) => 'SRCMOS' + 'xx' + '.EXE' xx: system board identifier (two character) 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 600 | IBUJaabb | SRCMOSIB.EXE | | ThinkPad 770/770E/770ED | IDUJaabb | SRCMOSID.EXE | | ThinkPad 380Z | IGUJaabb | SRCMOSIG.EXE | | ThinkPad 560Z | IEUJaabb | SRCMOSIE.EXE | | ThinkPad 770X | IIUJaabb | SRCMOSII.EXE | | ThinkPad 600E* | IHUJaabb | SRCMOSIH.EXE | --------------------------------------------------------------------- aa: version, bb: country code *600E - This utility doesn't support 3A*,4A*,5A*,8A*,4B*,5B* and 8B*.
