Locating the information tag of your system

Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. You can view the Express Service Code and 
Service Tag by pulling out the information tag located on the front of the system. Alternatively, the information may be on the Mini 
Enterprise Service Tag (MEST) label on the chassis, on the rear of the system. This information is used by Dell to route support calls 
to the appropriate personnel.
