System and Method for Persistent Hardware System Serial Numbers

摘要

A system for computer hardware serial number management includes a computer system chassis comprising a chassis serial number. The chassis serial number is embodied on the computer system chassis as a physical serial number. A first RFID tag is attached to the computer system chassis at a first location. The first RFID tag stores indicia of the physical serial number. A first electronic device couples to the computer system chassis, and comprises a first RFID reader configured to retrieve the stored indicia of the physical serial number from the first RFID tag and to determine the chassis serial number based on the retrieved indicia of the physical serial number.
