Troubleshooting the Server 25
▼ Locate the Server Serial Number
● To locate the server serial number, do one of the following:
■ From the front of the server, look at the left side of the front panel to locate the
server serial number. The serial number is located on the Radio-frequency
identification (RFID) tag on the front panel, next to the general status
indicators. For illustrations of the server front panel, see “About Controls and
Connectors” on page 2.
■ Refer to the service label that is attached to the top cover of the server. This
label includes the serial number.
■ Locate the yellow Customer Information Sheet (CIS) attached to your server
packaging. This sheet includes the serial number.
■ From the Oracle ILOM command-line interface (CLI), enter the show /System
command or go to the System Information Summary page in the Oracle ILOM
web browser interface.
