You need to use the Hardware Management Console to change any details.

I have found this IBM link.

The hardware maintenance disks seem to be only available to IBM accredited service agents. This has been their protocol for many years. I cannot find any details about version 2 you ask for.

I have found a forum answer which may help.

Hope that gives you something. Sorry to not be able to solve your problem. Maybe another Helpowler can enlighten us.
