Abstract

The present invention is directed toward providing a system for identifying network servers within a data center containing many such servers. Parallel and serial port couplers with an erasable, programable read-only memory are encoded with a unique ID number, and a label with a bar code corresponding to the ID number is affixed to each coupler. A server to be installed in a data center has an encoded coupler attached to one of its communication ports. Optionally, upon the server booting up for the first time, a driver installed on the server stores the logical server name of the server in the memory of the coupler. Upon encountering a problem with a network server, the system displays the logical server name and the ID number of the problem server. A technician reads the label on the coupler connected to the suspected server and verifies that the ID number on the coupler matches the ID number displayed for the server requiring service.
