The machine type and serial number are on the ID label on the front of the server.

Quick response code​

The system service label, which is on the inside of the server cover, provides a quick response (QR) code for mobile access to service information. Scan the QR code with a mobile device and a QR code reader application to get quick access to the Lenovo Service web site for this server. The Lenovo Service web site provides additional information for parts installation and replacement videos, and error codes for server support.
