M-Series Library: How can I find the Product Serial Number?

 

How can I find the Product Serial Number for an M-Series Library?

The M-Series libraries are expected to go End of Service Life on 30-June-2011.  At the expiration of any existing contract, Quantum will no longer actively support them

For an M-Series Library, you can find the product serial number in three distinct locations:

·         Physical Location

·         Remote Location

·         Quick View Location

Physical Location

The product serial number is located on either the Stack-link slot or on the back of the library, depending on the unit.

Remote Location

This procedure describes how to find the product serial number on an M-Series library by using the Prism Management Card interface.

CAUTIONCAUTION: It is possible that the serial number displayed on the Prism Management Card and the physical library may not match. Take the time to make sure they do match. If not, the physical library value is the accurate number.

1.   On the host computer, open the Internet browser software.

2.   In the Address field, type https://IPaddress/ where IPaddress is the IP address for the Prism Web GUI to your M-Series library. This example uses an M2500 library. The PMC Server Home page displays.
