the Component Information list. Once the rmware update is applied, all the NIC cards are upgraded.

Recovery
You can save the server prole in protection vault by exporting the prole and importing the prole to the same server to reinstate it to an
earlier state.
Protection vault
Protection vault is a secure location where you can export and import server proles for a server or a group of servers. You can save this
server prole on a shared location in the network by creating an external vault or on a vFlash SD card by creating an internal vault. You can
associate a server or a group of servers with only one protection vault. However, you can associate one protection vault with many servers
or group of servers.
