Default Server "born-on" date

Hello all;

I am trying to find the age of my servers to provide a schedule of
replacement based on age. They are all mostly EOL'ed by SUN. I can get
the EOL date of them from Sunsolve, which, in the case of my old
Ultra-XX series servers, will tell me that they are at least that old,
but I have several that were EOL'ed in just the last year or so.

I have no paper trail to follow to get the purchase dates (am a new
admin to this site), and am wondering is there some handy-dandy Sun
link where you plug in your serial # and it comes back with the
manufacture date (or better yet; in-service date)?

Any other method (built-in to the PROM, or something like that), or
stamped somewhere on the chassis that I haven't found yet?

We have a wide variety of Sun servers;
Ultra-series -2. -5/10, -60, -80;
280R, 420R, 480R;
v120, v210, v880;
and one lonesome E450.

Any suggestions gratefully acknowledged.

Thnaks in advance

Joe D.
