CE Utility Program Diskette

Writing the Serialization Information

The EEPROM on the system board contains the Serialization Information Data— that is, a system board serial number and a system unit serial number. When you replace the system board, restore the Serialization Information Data using the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette. The serial number label is attached to the computer.

Writing the UUID

The EEPROM on the system board contains the Universal Unique ID (UUID)— that is, for Microsoft or Internet use. When you replace the system board, restore the new UUID using the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette. The ThinkPad Utility will automatically generate and assign the new UUID.
