How to: Find the model and serial number of a Linux server

We all know how to get the cpu and memory details from our Linux servers.  However, I recently found myself looking for the actual model as well as serial number of one of our remote Linux servers.  Not wanting to travel to data center, I started looking for commands that would give me the type of info I was looking for (i.e  HP DL360).

So I came across the command dmidecode.  Simply type the following as root to get your system’s model type:

# dmidecode -t system

SMBIOS 2.3 present.

Handle 0x0100, DMI type 1, 25 bytes.
System Information
        Manufacturer: HP
        Product Name: ProLiant DL380 G4
        Version: Not Specified
        Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXX
        UUID: XXXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX
        Wake-up Type: Power Switch

Handle 0x2000, DMI type 32, 11 bytes.
System Boot Information
        Status: No errors detected

As you can see above, I’ve X’d out the Serial # and UUID to protect the identify of the server. The rest simply states what you’re looking for…HP DL380 G4.

The following is what you can use with exchange for ‘system’ with a -t argument:

  bios
  system
  baseboard
  chassis
  processor
  memory
  cache
  connector
  slot

So to find out, the memory allocation per slot just type dmidecode -t memory.
