Where are saved configurations stored after replacing the system board on a Dell EMC PowerEdge 13G Server?

In a Dell EMC PowerEdge 13G Server, saved configurations are stored on the vFlash SD. The vFlash SD is a storage option that serves as a virtual flash storage solution within the server. It allows for the storage of BIOS settings, configuration data, and other critical information required for the system to function properly.

When the system board is replaced, the configuration data that was previously stored on vFlash SD can be retained and used again, ensuring a seamless transition without requiring manual reconfiguration of settings. This is particularly useful in maintaining uptime and efficiency in environments where quick recovery from hardware replacement is essential.

Options involving the Control Panel, BOSS Card, or IDSDM do not serve the function of holding saved configurations after a system board replacement in the same way that the vFlash SD does.
