ABSTRACT:
An information handling system hardware signature based on a verified hardware configuration for the information handling system serves as a reference to confirm the hardware configuration of the information handling system through a manufacture process. For instance, after hardware component testing, the hardware components of the information handling system are queried and compared against the hardware signature to ensure continued compliance with the verified configuration. Similarly, the hardware configuration is confirmed against the hardware signature after loading an image and prior to final test of the assembled information handling system. Comparison of current hardware with the hardware signature throughout the manufacture process ensures compliance with a predetermined hardware configuration without requiring multiple hardware verifications.
