Record vital data about your blade server.
Print Table 1 and use it to record information about your blade server.
You will need this information when you register the blade server with IBM®. You can register the blade server at http://www.ibm.com/support/mynotifications.
To determine the values for your blade server, use the management module and the lsvpd command. If you are running the Linux operating system, download and install the service and productivity tools for the Linux operating system to install the lsvpd command.
The model number and serial number are on the ID label that is behind the control panel door on the front of the blade server, and on a label on the side of the blade server that is visible when the blade server is not in the BladeCenter® unit.
A set of blank labels comes with the blade server. When you install the blade server in the BladeCenter unit, write identifying information on a label and place the label on the BladeCenter unit bezel. See the documentation for your BladeCenter unit for recommended label placement.
