Note on system information backup/restore
The COP contains the Chassis ID EPROM that contains system information
like server name and model, housing type, serial number and manufacturing
data. T
o 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.
CAUTION
For that reason the COP and the system board should not be replaced
simultaneously! In this case, the automatically restoring of the system
configuration data on the system board would fail.
▶
If the COP and the system board are replaced at the same time,
reconfigure the BIOS/iRMC and restore the system information like
server name, server model, housing type, serial number and
manufacturing data manually by Chassis ID Prom T
ool.
