Board Check and Change

The Board Check and Change tool allows you to set the module type and serial
number after a main board has been changed.

After boot of the FLD, normally the Module Type is automatically entered
(based on installed optical unit). In this case just the module Serial Number
has to be entered (same on the module label).
