Restoring the Service Tag using Easy Restore

allows you to restore your system’s Service Tag, license, UEFI configuration, and the system configuration

new system board and the Service Tag in the rSPI card, BIOS prompts the user to restore the backup
information.

If BIOS detects a new system board, and if the Service Tag is present in the rSPI card, BIOS displays
the Service Tag, the status of the license, and the UEFI Diagnostics version.
