Model type/serial
number
Important:  The  server  keys  cannot  be  duplicated  by  a  locksmith.  If  you  lose  them, 
order  replacement  keys  from  the  key  manufacturer.  The  key  serial  number  and  the 
telephone  number  of  the  manufacturer  are  on  a  tag  that  is  attached  to  the  keys. 
If  you  plan  to  install  the  server  in  a  rack,  you  must  purchase  a  Tower-to-Rack  Kit. 
For  a  list  of  supported  optional  devices  for  the  server,  see  http://www.ibm.com/
