System information placard

An identification placard which may be used to identify the software loaded in a computer system. The identification placard includes a carrier that carries identification information, and is configured to be removably attached to a manufactured good. The carrier attaches in such a way that it is difficult to remove when the manufactured good is closed or operational but can be removed with or without the use of a tool when the manufactured good is opened for service. The carrier can be mounted on a less visible surface of the chassis, in plain sight or can be moved into a position where it is not visible during normal use, but readily available when needed by pulling it out, rotating it out or flipping it out.
