Restoring the service tag using Easy Restore
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

detects a new system board and the service tag in the backup flash device, BIOS prompts the user to
restore the backup information.
1. Turn on the system.
If BIOS detects a new system board, and if the service tag is present in the backup flash device, BIOS
displays the service tag, the status of the license, and the UEFI Diagnostics version.
2. Do one of the following:
• Press Y to restore the service tag, license, and diagnostics information.
• Press N to navigate to the Lifecycle Controller based restore options.
• Press <F10> to restore data from a previously created Hardware Server Profile.
After the restore process is complete, BIOS prompts to restore the system configuration data.
3. Do one of the following:
• Press Y to restore the system configuration data.
• Press N to use the default configuration settings.
After the restore process is complete, the system reboots.
