Locating your system service tag

Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. The Express Service

Code and Service Tag are found on the front of the system by pulling out the information tag.

Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the chassis of the system. This information is used

by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.
