ABSTRACT:
A labeling system combines an indelibly inscribed visually readable serial number with an embedded electronically readable one-time programmable read-only storage device. The integration of the two in one labeling system ensures that the visually readable identification information is consistent with the electronically readable information. The labeling system is tamper evident visually and electronically. Electronic tamper evidence is provided by the construction of the label system which is designed to ensure the breaking of various internal and peripheral electrical connections associated with the embedded read-only storage device during any attempt to remove the label once it is affixed to the computer or subassembly thus identified. The integration of visual and electronic identification information eliminates the need to manually or electronically enter the identification information into the electronic storage device during a separate manufacturing process. The labeling system may be affixed to computer system enclosures, subassemblies, adapter cards, and even components mounted on such subassemblies and adapter cards.
