Restoring the system using Easy Restore
The easy restore feature enables you to restore your service tag, license, UEFI conguration, and the system conguration data after
replacing the system board. All data is backed up in a backup ash device automatically. If BIOS detects a new system board, and the
service tag in the backup ash device, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup information.
Below is a list of options available:
• Restore the service tag, license, and diagnostics information, press Y
• Navigate to the Lifecycle Controller based restore options, press N.
• Restore data from a previously created Hardware Server Prole, press F10
NOTE
: When the restore process is complete, BIOS prompts to restore the system conguration
data.
• To restore the system conguration data, press Y
• To use the default conguration settings, press N
NOTE
: After the restore process is complete, system reboots.
