Restoring the Service Tag by using the Easy Restore feature
By using the Easy Restore feature, you can restore your systems Service Tag, license, UEFI configuration, and the system
configuration data after replacing the system board. All data is automatically backed up in an rSPI card automatically. If BIOS
detects a new system board and the Service Tag in the rSPI card, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup information.
Steps
1. Turn on the system.
If BIOS detects a new system board, and if the Service Tag is present in the rSPI card, BIOS displays the Service Tag, the
status of the license, and the UEFI Diagnostics version.
