Oracle Database Appliance X10-S/X10-L Oracle Database Appliance X10-HA

Report the serial number located on the front panel of the system, the top of the system, or on the Customer Information Sheet that is shipped with the system.

You only need to extend the server node a couple of inches on its slide rails to see the serial label on the top of the system. You do not need to release any cables, or slide it to the extended maintenance position.

Report the Top Level Identifier (TLI). To see the TLI, look on the Customer Information Sheet or look at the top of a server node or storage shelf on the left-hand side towards the front.

The TLI part number and TLI serial number are the same for the factory-bundled server nodes of an appliance. The following figure shows an example Top Level Identifier label:

If the appliance is in a rack where you cannot see the TLI, do one of the following:

  • Look on another component (server node or storage shelf) of the appliance. All factory-bundled server nodes of Oracle Database Appliance have the same TLI numbers.

  • Slide a server node partway out on its rails, just far enough to see the TLI. See the Service Manual for details.

    You only need to extend the server node a couple of inches on its slide rails to see the TLI. You do not need to release any cables, or slide it to the extended maintenance position.
