Locating the serial number of your appliance

To get support for your appliance, use the VxRail Appliance serial number, also called the Product Serial Number Tag (PSNT). The PSNT is
a 14-digit number used to identify your appliance to Dell EMC support.
14 Overview
Condition
CAUTION: When correcting a PSU mismatch, replace only the PSU with the blinking
indicator. Swapping the PSU to make a matched pair can result in an error condition and
unexpected appliance shutdown. To change from a High Output configuration to a Low
Output configuration or vice versa, you must turn off the appliance.
CAUTION: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same type and have the same
maximum output power.
CAUTION: Combining AC and DC PSUs is not supported and triggers a mismatch.
