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 96).
After replacing the system board
Ê Check the SEL log files as described in section "Replacing the system
board" on page 303 to verify whether the backup data on the Chassis ID
EPROM has been restored to the system board:
Chassis IDPROM: Restore successful
After replacing the Chassis ID EPROM
I In case of the PRIMERGY TX1320 M1 server, the Chassis ID EPROM is
integrated on the front panel board.
Ê Check the SEL log files as described in section "Viewing and clearing the
System Event Log (SEL)" on page 96 to verify whether a backup copy of the
system board settings has been transferred to the Chassis ID EPROM:
Chassis IDPROM: Backup successful
