Saving/Restoring Product Information
when Replacing the I/O Board
10.1 Overview
The product information (e.g., model name and N code) of the server and chassis information (e.g.,
chassis type and designation number) is recorded in the non-volatile memory of the I/O board.
Product information and chassis information suitable for the server is recorded at shipment.
If the current I/O board needs to be replaced in the field, the memory of a replacement I/O board
contains provisional product information and chassis information which is usually not suitable for
the target server. When replacing the I/O board, restore the product information and chassis
information into the new I/O board according to the procedure below. In general, restore the
information by performing the procedure shown in "10.2 Restoration Procedure 1 (Backup and
Restoration)."
When replacing the I/O board without making a backup copy of the information, restore the
information by performing the procedure shown in "10.3 Restoration procedure 2 (with no backup
copy)."
Without a backup data, the RMC data (remote management data) must be restored in manual mode
by the remote management feature of the OS.
10.2 Restoration Procedure 1 (Backup and Restoration)
10.2.1 Overview
Before replacing the I/O board, start the Off-line Maintenance Utility, and make a backup copy of
the product information and chassis information onto a floppy disk. After replacing the I/O board,
start the Off-line Maintenance Utility again and restore the product information and chassis
information from the floppy disk into the memory of the new I/O board.
When replacing the I/O board without making a backup copy of the information, restore the
information by performing the procedure shown in "10.3 Restoration procedure 2 (with no backup
copy)."
10.2.2 Requirements
EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM
1 floppy disk (A free space of about 10KB is required. An unformatted disk is
