Verifying system information backup or restore

To avoid the loss of non-default settings when replacing the system board, a
backup copy of important system configuration data is automatically stored
from the system board NVRAM to the Chassis ID EPROM. After replacing the
system board the backup data is restored from the Chassis ID board to the
new system board.
In order to verify whether the backup or restore process has been successful,
check the System Event Log (SEL) using the ServerView Operations Manager,
see "Viewing and clearing the System Event Log (SEL)" on page
After replacing the system board
▶ Check the SEL log files to verify whether the backup data on the Chassis ID
EPROM has been restored to the system board, see
the System Event Log (SEL)" on page
Chassis IDPROM: Motherboard Exchange detected
Chassis IDPROM: BMC FW restore successful
Chassis IDPROM: BIOS restore successful
For replacing the system board, the BIOS has an automatic restore
function for the BIOS settings. If the BIOS settings could not be restored
after replacing the system board, you must manually change the
settings.
