Setting expansion unit configuration ID and MTMS value

Provides instructions for setting important system values.

The preferred method for setting the configuration ID is through the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI), but it can also be performed using the physical control panel if the ASMI is unavailable.

The machine type-model-serial (MTMS) value for the expansion unit should be set to match the original value, which can be found on a label affixed to the expansion unit. Updating the MTMS value keeps the configuration and error information in sync, and is used by the system when creating the location codes. This must be done using the ASMI, not with the control panel. However, if you do not have access to the ASMI, the system will still operate without updating this information

Note: Refer to Managing the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) for information on setting up the ASMI, and Managing your server using the Advanced System Management Interface for information on using the ASMI, including updating the system configuration settings. Updating the world-wide port name for a new 2766, 2787, or 280E IOA Provides instructions for updating the world-wide port name after exchanging certain IOAs.
