The system must be in manual intervention mode for this command to execute. This command applies to systems that have an external enclosure attached. If a motherboard is replaced in the DR Series system, the service tag should be blank from service inventory. That service tag should be reprogrammed to match the existing system service tag before the on-site technician leaves; therefore, this command should not be required. However, if the service tag is changed for some reason, this command will need to be executed to update the external drives to match the new service tag. A second scenario is when migrating an enclosure from one DR Series system to another. This command would need to be executed to match the migrated enclosures drives to the new service tag. 118
