There is often a small sticker at the top of the card, or on one of 
the chips, or on the external bracket.  It'll be a hexadecimal 
string, just like a regular MAC address.  On PC-compatible cards, it's 
often not there if the card is a no-name brand.  It's almost always 
there with 3Com, Intel, Compaq/HP, etc.  I've not messed with Enterprise 
systems, but for the older SPARC series servers and workstations, 
it was always present...
