Identify Devices Without Service Tag

When it comes to accessing support and documentation for your Dell devices, knowing how to identify them is important. Dell typically uses identifiers like the Service Tag or Express Service Code. These unique codes help you quickly find technical specifications, warranty details, and other important information on the Dell Support website.

However, not all Dell devices come with these identifiers. Let's explore what to do when your device doesn't have a Service Tag or Express Service Code.

Devices Without Service Tag or Express Service Code

Many Dell-branded accessories, including keyboards, mice, headsets, external drives, and speakers, don't feature a Service Tag or Express Service Code. Instead, these devices can be identified using their model on the Dell Support website.

To find this information, look for a label usually located on the bottom of the device. If you still have the original packaging, you can also find the model printed on the box. The model is important to access product-specific documentation and drivers on the Dell Support website.
