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

new system board and the Service Tag in the rSPI card, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup
information.

If BIOS detects a new system board, and if the Service Tag is present in the rSPI card, BIOS displays
the Service Tag, the status of the license, and the UEFI Diagnostics version.
