Remove the Motherboard
Note - When replacing the motherboard, remove the SPM and SC PROM from the old
motherboard, and install these components on the new motherboard. The SPM contains the
Oracle ILOM system configuration data, and the SC PROM contains the system host ID and
MAC address. Transferring these components preserves the system-specific information stored
on these modules. Whenever you replace the motherboard or the SPM, you must update the
firmware so the portions of firmware in the SPM and on the motherboard are consistent.
