Description
Serial numbers can be identified via the serial number labels on the SmartNICs. The serial numbers are shown on these labels as barcode and in readable text. This figure shows an example of a serial number label.
In this example 0000-001665 is the serial number (SN) of the front module of the
SmartNIC.
Note: On PCIe Gen1 and PCIe Gen3 SmartNICs there is one serial number
label per SmartNIC, whereas on PCIe Gen2 SmartNICs there is a serial number label for the
front module and one for the main module of the SmartNIC.
The serial number is
unique for each module or SmartNIC but it does not contain any information that can be
interpreted in any way.
