Restoring the system using Easy Restore

The easy restore feature enables you to restore your service tag, license, UEFI configuration, and the system configuration data

after replacing the system board. All data is backed up in a backup flash device automatically. If BIOS detects a new system

board, and the service tag in the backup flash device, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup information.
