CE Utility Program Diskette

Writing the Serialization Information

The EEPROM on the system board contains the
Serialization Information Data— that is, a system board
serial number and a system unit serial number. When you
replace the system board, restore the Serialization
Information Data using the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette.
The serial number label is attached to the computer.

Writing the UUID

The EEPROM on the system board contains the Universal
Unique ID (UUID)— that is, for Microsoft or Internet use.
When you replace the system board, restore the new
UUID using the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette. The
ThinkPad Utility will automatically generate and assign the
new UUID.

interact with the tests.
