Locating Your Service Tag
Your storage system is identified by a unique Service Tag number.
You can find the Service Tag number on the service luggage tag located next to the front panel display.
The Service Tag number is also located on the back of the storage system chassis. Dell uses this
information to route support calls to the appropriate personnel.
