the computer.
●
Ownership tag (80-byte identifier) displayed during POST.
●
Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) number. The UUID can only be updated if the current
chassis serial number is invalid. (These ID numbers are normally set in the factory and are

Master Boot Record
Security
Restores the backup Master Boot Record to the current bootable disk. Default is disabled.
Only appears if all of the following conditions are true:
● MBR security is enabled
● A backup copy of the MBR has been previously saved
●
The current bootable disk is the same disk from which the backup copy was saved
CAUTION: Restoring a previously saved MBR after a disk utility or operating system has
modified the MBR, may cause the data on the disk to become inaccessible. Only restore a
previously saved MBR if you are confident that the current bootable disk's MBR has been
corrupted or infected with a virus.
