About View and Export Current Inventory

You can view the hardware information about the currently-installed hardware components that are internal to the

system chassis and the configuration for each component. The table lists all the currently-installed hardware

components (for example, fans, PCI devices, NICs, DIMMs, PSU, and so on), and their properties and values. You can

export this information in an XML format into a USB drive or network share. The XML file is saved in this format -

HardwareInventory_<servicetag>_<timestamp>.xml.

For more information about the easy-to-use names of the hardware components, see Easy-to-use System Component

Names.

NOTE: Incorrect inventory data is displayed or exported after performing Delete Configuration and Reset Defaults.

For viewing the correct inventory data, see

Viewing and Exporting Current Inventory After Resetting Lifecycle
