Servicing the System Configuration PROM
These topics describe service procedures for the system configuration PROM in the server.
The system configuration PROM stores the host ID and MAC address. If you have to replace
the motherboard, be sure to move the System configuration PROM from the old motherboard
to the new motherboard. This step will ensure that the server will retain its original host ID and
MAC address.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.
