Thanks for your email.  Yes, I came across dmidecode, but on a PowerEdge 2450 it
does'nt appear to work.  I'm not sure why it displays 12345. To my knowledge the
tag has not been changed. 

                Serial Number: Not Specified
                Serial Number: 12345
                        PSN (Processor serial number present and enabled)
                        PSN (Processor serial number present and enabled)
