-------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES

- Both the donor ThinkPad and a target ThinkPad must have the same UEFI BIOS Level.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOW TO USE THE SOFTWARE

Note: - If your computer runs satisfactorily now, it may not be necessary to update the software. To determine if you should update the software, refer to the Version Information section. - A bootable and read/write-able media (floppy disk, USB memory, CD-RW, etc.) with DOS or Windows 95/98 boot disk installed, and also a device for the media (floppy disk drive, USB port, CD-RW drive, etc.) are necessary.

--------------------------------Capturing ThinkPad Setup Settings

Do the following procedures at a donor ThinkPad:

(Setting up a donor ThinkPad) 1. Turn off the computer. 2. Turn on the computer. 3. While the following messages is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key. To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button The ThinkPad Setup menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the correct password. 4. Change and save the desired settings as required. 5. Exit from the ThinkPad Setup and restart the computer. 6. Ensure that the donor ThinkPad starts up and functions properly.

(Starting capture) 7. Copy SRSETUP.EXE into a bootable and read/write-able media with DOS or Windows 95/98 boot disk installed. 8. Insert the media in its device, then power on and boot the computer with the media. 9. At the command line, execute SRSETUP.EXE with the /c option. Example: SRSETUP.EXE \path\file_name /c Where \path\file_name is the path and file name of ThinkPad Setup Settings file to be created.

(Capture options) [Secure data and Supervisor password] SRSETUP can capture UEFI BIOS secure data that includes a supervisor password. The captured data has an encrypted supervisor password of the donor ThinkPad. To capture the supervisor password, add the /kpap option to enter the password by the keyboard. Example: SRSETUP.EXE \path\file_name /c /kpap

[UIA (User Information Area) Data] To save UIA data, add the /UIA option. Example: SRSETUP.EXE \path\file_name /c /UIA You have no need to use the /UIA option at the target ThinkPad computers.

[Power-on password and Hard disk password] SRSETUP can deploy power-on password and hard disk password. To set the power-on password and hard disk password at the target ThinkPad computers, create a password.txt file (any name), add the /EP password.txt options. Example: SRSETUP.EXE \path\file_name /c /EP password.txt Where password.txt contains the names of UEFI BIOS settings files for each of target ThinkPad computers, the power-on password and the hard disk password. "Sample.txt" shows the format of .csv file.

If the supervisor password is set on a donor ThinkPad, add the /kpap option to enter the password by the keyboard. Example: SRSETUP.EXE \path\file_name /c /kpap /EP password.txt

In this case, the ThinkPad Setup Settings file contains a supervisor password.

WARNING: This process creates an intermediate file that contains the power-on password, hard disk password and a pointer to the system that these passwords are intended to be installed on. Be sure to treat this intermediate file as a potential security exposure that exists until the reset process is complete. Be sure to transmit the file securely to the target system and to destroy the file when finished. Examples of secure transmission include carrying the file on removable media to the target system or encrypting the file before transmission over the network to the target system.

-----------------------------------Playing Back ThinkPad Setup Settings

Do the following procedures at a target ThinkPad:

(Starting playback) 1. Copy the ThinkPad Setup Settings file in the step 9 of the "Capturing ThinkPad Setup Settings" section into the media in the step 7, as well. 2. Insert the media in its device, then power on and boot the computer with the media.

3. At the command line, execute SRSETUP.EXE with the /u option. Example: SRSETUP.EXE \path\file_name /u Where \path\file_name is the path and file name of ThinkPad Setup Settings file. 4. The computer restarts automatically. After restart, the computer will shut down automatically at ThinkPad logo screen.

(Notes) [Secure data and Supervisor password] If the target computer already has a supervisor password, add the /kpap option to enter the supervisor password by keyboard: Example: SRSETUP.EXE \path\file_name /u /kpap

[Power-on password and Hard disk password] If the target computer already has a power-on password and/or a hard disk password, you can not set the passwords by SRSETUP. You must remove the passwords by ThinkPad Setup Utility at the target computer.
