2.2 Obtaining the Chassis Serial Number

To obtain support for your system, you need your chassis serial number. On the server, the chassis serial number is located on a sticker that is on the front of the server and another sticker at the rear of the server, below the AC power connector. You can also run the ALOM CMT showplatform command to obtain the chassis serial number.

Example:

sc> showplatform

SUNW,Sun-Fire-T1000
