Abstract: A method of and system for finding the physical location of a server positions a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags at known locations in an area. Each RFID tag has unique location information. A server is coupled to a collocated RFID tag reader. Upon power up, the server performs a scan with its collocated RFID tag reader. The server determines its physical location with respect to at least one scanned RFID tag. The server storing its physical location of said server. Upon receiving a location request, the server returning its physical location.

Abstract: 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.
