What is a Service Tag? | Find My Service T


This was gotten from Dell UK website.
NOTE: on the "processor Module" - 578TU, it says P111-CU* Replace the * with an m - that was the original entry from the site but the spell checker would not let it go that way!

support.dell.com, enter service tag at top right of screen.

European models won't show extensively - you'll need to use the Dell site in the country where the system was sold.

Thankyou both very much for the quick responses.

When I previously tried the Service Tag, the web site responded that "no additional information is available. Try again later". I see that it now works, and that answers my general info need.

However, I am still curious about the Express Service Code. I guess that is just not useful on the Dell Support web site. So I wonder what use it has, if any.
