How to change the System Model Name for PowerEdge R630
Hi,
We have a PowerEdge R630 returned from a customer and it seems the System Model name is changed from PowerEdge R630 to SPC1000-F in BIOS and .
Does anyone know what tool you might use to change that back.
Thank you very much for your time!

Eggman_2112,
The issue likely is due to a Dell OEM Identity Module, the OEM Identity Module is basically a repository file in which branding or customization attributes are centrally stored and used by BIOS, iDRAC, and other subsystems. For many solutions, the Identity will be used in place of custom BIOS, Firmware or Software. It is stored in a protected partition on the motherboard. Now we have this file here, but I think that is to de-Dell brand it, not to get it back to R630. We may have to look at another systemboard to restore.

Thank you very much for your help. We were thinking it may be an OEM server as we have had some like that before. We are going to resell the unit as an OEM server so that's OK. It doesn't really affect the server functionality so we will close this one off. I just thought if there was an easy solution then this thread may help others that have the same question about other servers with same issue.
As per this whitepaper, that is exactly what you are talking about:

Have a great day!
