Basic software procedures
5.2.2 Verifying system information backup / restore
To avoid the loss of non-default settings when replacing the system board, a
backup copy of important system configuration data is automatically stored from
the system board NVRAM to the Chassis ID EPROM. After replacing the
system board the backup data is restored from the Chassis ID board to the new
system board.
In order to verify whether the backup or restore process has been successful,
check the System Event Log (SEL) using the ServerView Operations Manager
(see also section "Viewing and clearing the System Event Log (SEL)" on
page 93).

Ê Check the SEL log files, see section "Viewing and clearing the System Event
Log (SEL)" on page 93 to verify whether the backup data on the Chassis ID
EPROM has been restored to the system board:

If the restore process has not been successful, the system information has
to be restored using the Chassis ID Prom tool, see section "Using the
Chassis ID Prom Tool" on page 99.
