Chapter 10 Maintaining the System 91
Re-using the Data in the Host ID Chip
If you ever need to replace an entire Netra t1, you can re-use the old system’s MAC
address and serial number in the new system. This information is stored on the
motherboard in a removable component called the Host ID chip (see
FIGURE 10-1
). To
transfer them to a new system, do the following:
1. Remove the Host ID chips from both the new and the old systems (to identify the
chip, see
FIGURE 10-1
).
2. Fit the Host ID chip from the old system onto the motherboard of the new system.
