[racktables-users] Re: SNMP Support for HP/Compaq servers

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I guess what I am really interested is in getting the serial number of
the serial number, since I have 4 racks full of HP Blades, and I can not
take them down (unless it is really late, and who whats to work late) to
get the serial number, getting the serial number from the motherboard is
really more important (to us anyway) for warranty purposes.  

Thanks, 

Luis
