b. If the service tag is not backed up in the backup flash device, enter the system service tag manually. See the Manually
update the Service Tag by using System Setup section.
c. Update the BIOS and iDRAC versions. Re-enable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). See the Upgrading the Trusted

Restoring the system using Easy Restore
The Easy Restore feature enables you to restore your service tag, license, UEFI configuration, and the system configuration data
after replacing the system board. All data is backed up in a backup flash device automatically. If BIOS detects a new system
board, and the service tag in the backup flash device, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup information.
