The MAC address is usually either on the side of the case, or on the bottom. It will be a random string of letters and numbers with dashes or a colon between them. There are 12 total characters and the letters will never go past the letter F. (A-F and 0-9)
For example, you're looking for something with a pattern of:
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
A Real World example will look like:
9E-54-95-2D-50-62 or 91:BF:7A:16:CA:17
In some rare cases, vendors will print the MAC address without any separator like so: 0F 35 95 E9 B5 DA
