Checking Dell server Service Tag and BIOS version remotely

Because I am maintaining some Dell servers in my network, so it's really useful to know some (maybe for most of you obvious) commands. For example some of you probably lost somewhere notepad with written all of your Dell's Service Tag (serial numbers). Please look below, how simple can be checking some important things on your server:

- How to check service tag?
- Simplest way to check service tag on your (Linux) server is using dmidecode:

dmidecode | grep -i serial
Service Tag will be available as 'Serial Number'.

- How to check BIOS version on server?
- Again use dmidecode!
dmidecode | less | grep -i BIOS
And line similar to 'BIOS Revision' should appears.
