Restoring the system using Easy Restore
The easy restore feature enables you to restore your service tag, license, UEFI configuration, and the system configuration data
after replacing the system board. All data is backed up in a backup flash device automatically. If BIOS detects a new system
board, and the service tag in the backup flash device, 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.
Manually update the Service Tag
After replacing a system board, if Easy Restore fails, follow this process to manually enter the Service Tag, using System

About this task
CAUTION:
After the TPM plug-in module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system
board. When the system is powered on, any attempt to remove an installed TPM plug-in module breaks the
cryptographic binding, and the removed TPM cannot be installed on another system board. Ensure any keys you
have stored on the TPM have been securely transferred.
