Update RIT network registration after motherboard replacement

If, during the course of Hardware repair, your Macintosh system has its motherboard replaced, you must update the RIT network registration for your computer.

Apple systems with on-board Ethernet ports have their network connections on the motherboard. Each Ethernet port has a unique identifier -- the hardware address -- and that unique identifier is used to register your computer on the RIT network. When the motherboard is replaced, the unique identifier on a motherboard changes.
