The HDD ID information is stored in the flash ROM on the controller board and
NVRAM. At the boot timing, the machine compare the HDD ID information with
the data in the flash ROM on the controller board and NVRAM. If the data is

When installing the new controller board and disconnecting the HDD cables, the
HDD ID information is automatically copied from NVRAM to the flash ROM on
the controller board and NVRAM.
