b. If the service tag is not backed up in the backup flash device, enter the system service tag manually. See the Manually update the
Service Tag by using System Setup section.
c. Update the BIOS and iDRAC versions.
Reenable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). See the Upgrading the Trusted Platform Modulesection.
5. If you are not using Easy restore, import your new or existing iDRAC Enterprise license. For more information, see the iDRAC User's
Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals .
6. Follow the procedure listed in After you work inside your system on page 53.
7. The Easy Restore feature restores several configuration settings, most notably the Service Tag, iDRAC Licenses, and OEM ID Modules
(if needed for the last two). See the Restoring the Service Tag Using Easy Restore page. When the system board is booted for the
first time, it presents a screen with settings it can restore.
NOTE: If for any reason Easy Restore does not start, you must enter the service tag manually. See the Update the
Service Tag page. Other configuration issues must also be done manually, for instance importing iDRAC License
through iDRAC GUI.
8. Update the BIOS version.
NOTE:
• The RACADM command RACADM sslresetcfg is used to generate a new SSL certificate with service tag
providing the unique Common Name (CN). If the certificate is not generated at time of service, inform the
customer or technical support so they can follow up.
• RACADM must be installed. If RACADM is not installed, download and install the Dell DRAC Tools (Windows
only). For more information about RACADM Command Line Interface, see the RACADM Command Line Interface
for DRAC section.
9. Reenable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
10. Let the system boot.

Restore the service tag
The Easy Restore feature allows you to restore your Service Tag, iDRAC license, UEFI configuration, and the system configuration data
after replacing the system board. All data is backed up in a backup Flash drive device automatically. If BIOS detects a new system board,
and the Service Tag in the backup Flash drive device is different, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup information.
About this task
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 Profile, press F10.
NOTE: When the restore process is complete, BIOS prompts to restore the system configuration data.
• To restore the system configuration data, press Y
• To use the default configuration settings, press N
NOTE: After the restore process is complete, system reboots.
NOTE: If restoring the Service Tag is successful, you can check the Service Tag information in the System Information
screen and compare it with the Service Tag on the system.
