The Easy Restore feature allows you to restore your Service Tag, iDRAC license, UEFI configuration, and the system configuration data after replacing the system board. All data is backed up automatically in a backup flash drive device. If BIOS detects a new system board, and the Service Tag in the backup Flash device is different, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup information.
