I want to deploy IBM System x servers (like IBM System x 3550 M2) automatically and need to set a security password in the bios (actually it's uefi). I found this nice tool named ASU: http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-55021

Unfortunately I cannot see an option to set the password. Forum searches only show me people who want to reset the password using this tool.

Does anybody know how to automatically deploy system passwords on IBM Intel-based servers?
