Locating the information tag of your system
A unique Express Service Code and Service Tag provides specic information about the system. Pull out the information tag located in
front of the system to view the Express Service Code and Service Tag. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the back of the
system chassis. The mini Enterprise Service Tag (EST) is found on the back of the system chassis. This information is used by Dell to route
support calls to the appropriate personnel.

4 iDRAC MAC address and iDRAC secure password label
NOTE: If you have opted for secure default access to iDRAC, the iDRAC secure default password is available on the
back of the system Information tag. This label will be blank, if you have not opted for secure default access to iDRAC,
then the default user name and password are root and calvin.
