Locating your Dell EMC system service tag
Your hardware 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 EMC to route
support calls to the appropriate personnel.
