A serial number (SN) on the label is a string that uniquely identifies a server. The SN is required when you contact Huawei technical support.

Obtaining a Product SN

Use one of the following methods to obtain a product SN:

• Use SmartKit.

  Use the server inspection function of SmartKit to obtain ESNs in batches. For details about the product SN, see "Asset Inspection Information" > "Board SN" in the inspection report.

• View the product label.

  A product label is attached to each Huawei server. You can view the product label to obtain its ESN. The product label position varies with the server model. For details, see the user guide of a specific server.
