T61 system board change, entering machine type/serial

I changed the system board on my T61 a while ago and I realised I cant use System Update because there is no information about the machine type and serial number on the new system board. I noticed IBM technicians use the Hardware maintenance diskette to do this. Is there anyway to get an ISO of it? or any other utility to enter the system info?
