Obtaining Information Using the BIOS Setup Utility
You can use the BIOS Setup utility to check the Serial number, Revision number,
and Asset number for the main logic board and processor module configured in the
server. For example, if you change the main logic board or processor module in the
server, you must run the BIOS Setup utility to re-synchronize the System ID (server
model number and serial number) in the main logic board or processor module’s
memory. The BIOS Setup utility will check the new main logic board or processor
module and will then detect the System ID mismatch.
You can view the details for the main logic board or processor module by pressing
<F3> and then selecting the
SYS
option. The BIOS Setup utility lists the server
model number and server serial number information stored on the main logic board
or processor module. You can then confirm the correct model number and serial
number. This data is available on the label located on the server’s back panel.
Refer to Chapter 3,BIOS Setup Utility Features, for more detailed information about the
BIOS Setup utility.
