Verifying system information backup or restore

To avoid the loss of non-default settings when replacing the system board, a
backup copy of important system configuration data is automatically stored
from the system board NVRAM to the Chassis ID EPROM. After replacing the
system board the backup data is restored from the Chassis ID board to the
new system board.
System information also includes license keys for Remote Management
Controller upgrades.
