System board and components
Note on MicroSD card
The MicroSD card on the system board contains the BIOS/iRMC
firmware that is running.
After replacing the system board, the operating version number will be
restored based on this information. Do not replace the system board and
the MicroSD card at the same time.
Note on TPM
The system board can be equipped with an optional TPM. This module
enables third party programs to store key information (e. g. drive
encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption).
If the customer is using TPM functionality, the TPM has to be removed
from the defective system board and connected to the new system
board. For more information, see
The TPM has to be enabled in the system BIOS.
CAUTION
▶
Before replacing the system board, ask the customer whether TPM
functionality is used.
▶
If the customer is using TPM functionality, remove the TPM from
the old system board and install it on the new system board.
▶
Advise your contact persons that they must provide you with all
recovery keys which belong to the system to restore them in the
TPM later.
Note on system information backup/restore
The COP contains the Chassis ID EPROM that contains system information
like server name and model, housing type, serial number and manufacturing
data. 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.
CAUTION
For that reason the COP and the system board must not be replaced
simultaneously! In this case, restoring the system configuration data on
the system board would fail.
