How to check the "server manufactured date" ? (hopefully automated.)

[Daniel Simard]

Good Morning
I was wondering how to automate a check, or at least how to do it manually first, how to verify the SERVER's Manufactured DATE ? We need to know all servers that are more than 5 years old, but don't know how to get the manufacture date. Say for example, a compaq proliant 1600 ? Is there a variable somewhere? how about in the survey.txt ? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED ?!!!
