Locating your appliance serial number 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 individual appliances to Dell EMC support. NOTE: Only use the VxRail appliance serial number to contact Customer Support. -
Page 8: Locating The Serial Number And Service Tag Number On Your Appliance
To view the PSNT and other labels, pull out the information tag in the front of the appliance. Alternatively, information may be on a sticker on the chassis of the appliance. The mini Enterprise Service Tag (EST) is found on the back of the appliance. This information is used by Dell to route support calls to the appropriate personnel. -
