Locate and record the product number, serial number, and SAID number
Before you begin installation, locate and record the product number of the messaging system,
serial number, and support contract service agreement ID (SAID) number.
The product number of the messaging system and serial number are located in three places:

Unpack and rack the messaging system hardware
WARNING! The messaging system enclosure is heavy. Always use at least two people to move
the messaging system into the rack.
