What is ibmSystemPhysicalMemorySerialNumber?

This object reports the manufacturer-assigned serial number uniquely identifying an individual physical memory module. Admins use it to track specific hardware units through warranty claims, RMA processes, or asset management systems. For example, recording this serial number before shipping a failed DIMM back to the vendor for replacement under warranty.

Examples
