a serial port is a 9 pin (DB-9) connector for serial communication (RS232) used by modems, mouse, etc... In older machines you had a DB-25 (25 pin connector) as well usually situated in the back of the computer near the printer port (DB-25 connector) but femail (25 holes insdead of 25 pins)
The serial number is normally on the box it comes in but it will appear as a decal on the motherboard itself. since the location changes by motherboard type it is virtually impossible to say it is at a specific location. It will be on the chip side of the board and maybe be preceded by S/N. Having said all of that I have never found a situation where the motherboard serial number was used for anything in any application.
may be on the motherboard i am not saying it is definently on it though but there is a different serial for the number of those made so you can`t just look on the intel website but serial is usally on product
It would be unethical to "hijack" a serial-number from an identical motherboard in some friend's computer, or from an identical motherboard on display in some retail store.
