Restoring the Service Tag using the Easy Restore feature
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 a backup flash device automatically. If BIOS
detects a new system board and the Service Tag in the backup flash device, BIOS prompts the user to
restore the backup information.

Trusted Platform Module

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to generate or store keys, protect or authenticate passwords,
and create or store digital certificates. TPM can also be used to enable the BitLocker hard drive
encryption feature in Windows Server.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from the system board.
Once the TPM is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific system board. Any
attempt to remove an installed TPM breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-
installed or installed on another system board.
