4.10.3 Anchor card
The anchor card, shown in Figure 4-29, contains the smart vital product data
chip that stores system-specific information. The pluggable anchor card provides
a means for this information to be transferable from a faulty system board to the
replacement system board. Before the service processor knows what system it is
on, it reads the smart vital product data chip to obtain system information.
