Locating the serial number and service tag number on your
appliance

You can identify your VxRail appliance using the unique serial number, service tag number, or express service code located on
the information tag of your appliance. The information tag is located at the front of your appliance. See the System Overview
for the location.

The information tag contains the following:

Product serial number tag (PSNT), which provides the 14-digit VxRail serial number

Service tag

To view the PSNT and other labels, pull out the information tag in the front of the appliance. Alternatively, information may be
on a sticker on the chassis of the appliance.

The mini Enterprise Service Tag (EST) is found on the back of the appliance. This information is used by Dell to route support
calls to the appropriate personnel.
