The CSR reads the platform type, BIOS revision, and firmware
revision from the file and compares that information with the
same information retrieved from the server. If the two do not
match, an error message is displayed and the restore operation
aborts. If they do match, the CSR restores the configuration data
to the server. It prompts you to reboot the server for the new
settings to take effect.

Alerting for platform events

You can set up the server to alert you when various events occur. Alerts
can be delivered either as telephone pages or over the LAN.
Instructions for setting up both telephone paging alerts and LAN alerts
are explained in the following sections.
