Restoring the Service Tag by 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 data after replacing the system board. All data is backed up in an rSPI card automatically. If BIOS detects a new system board and the Service Tag in the rSPI card, 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 rSPI card, 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 Dell 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.
