The service tag is the serial number.

so the serial number is only 7 digits and letters long and is on a removable sticker on the unit? Surely that cannot be correct because the idea is that the serial number is supposed to be say engraved into the unit for security reasons?

That is the serial number. It is not engraved into the system (though it is also set into the system BIOS).

Quite a bit of electronic equipment these days has just a sticker with the serial number on it - though there are laws that force automakers to put the VIN onto many components permanently, there no such requirement in the US for electronic equipment.

Take a scribe and etch/inscribe the Service Tag on the bottom plastic.
