Symptom

After running the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) tool, the arrangement for ASU items cannot map to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) setup menu.

For example:

ASU Item UEFI Item
UEFI.OnboardDeviceEnable.7 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable on-board Device(s)\Slot 2
UEFI.OnboardDeviceEnable.8 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable on-board Device(s)\Slot 3
UEFI.OnboardDeviceEnable.9 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable on-board Device(s)\Slot 4
UEFI.LegacyRomExecution.7 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable Legacy Option Rom(s)\Slot 2
UEFI.LegacyRomExecution.8 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable Legacy Option Rom(s)\Slot 3
UEFI.LegacyRomExecution.9 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable Legacy Option Rom(s)\Slot 4
UEFI.PCIeGenSelection.1 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\PCIe Gen1/Gen2 Speed Selection\Slot 2
UEFI.PCIeGenSelection.2 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\PCIe Gen1/Gen2 Speed Selection\Slot 3
UEFI.PCIeGenSelection.3 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\PCIe Gen1/Gen2 Speed Selection\Slot 4

Affected configurations

The system may be any of the following IBM servers:

  • System x3620 M3, type 7376, any model

The following system BIOS level(s) are affected:

  • System x 3620 M3 : HSE110AUS

Workaround

Modify the ASU item, as shown below.

ASU Item UEFI Item
UEFI.OnboardDeviceEnable.7 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable on-board Device(s)\Slot 2
UEFI.OnboardDeviceEnable.8 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable on-board Device(s)\Slot 3
UEFI.OnboardDeviceEnable.9 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable on-board Device(s)\Slot 4
UEFI.LegacyRomExecution.7 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable Legacy Option Rom(s)\Slot 2
UEFI.LegacyRomExecution.8 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable Legacy Option Rom(s)\Slot 3
UEFI.LegacyRomExecution.9 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\Enable/Disable Legacy Option Rom(s)\Slot 4
UEFI.PCIeGenSelection.1 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\PCIe Gen1/Gen2 Speed Selection\Slot 2
UEFI.PCIeGenSelection.2 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\PCIe Gen1/Gen2 Speed Selection\Slot 3
UEFI.PCIeGenSelection.3 System Setting\Device and I/O Ports\PCIe Gen1/Gen2 Speed Selection\Slot 4

Additional information

The issue is caused by a UEFI code structure that does not match the ASU tool.
