Restoring the Service Tag by using Easy Restore
Use the Easy Restore feature if you do not know the Service Tag of your system. The Easy Restore feature allows you to restore your
system’s Service Tag, license, UEFI configuration, and the system configuration data after replacing the system board. All data is 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.
2. Do one of the following:
• Press Y to restore the Service Tag, license, and diagnostics information.
• Press N to navigate to the Dell Lifecycle Controller based restore options.
• Press F10 to restore data from a previously created Hardware Server Profile.
After the restore process is complete, BIOS prompts to restore the system configuration data.
3. Do one of the following:
• Press Y to restore the system configuration data.
• Press N to use the default configuration settings.
After the restore process is complete, the system reboots.
Entering the system Service Tag by using System Setup
If Easy Restore fails to restore the Service Tag, use System Setup to enter the Service Tag.
Steps
1. Turn on the system.
2. Press F2 to enter System Setup.
3. Click Service Tag Settings.
4. Enter the Service Tag.
