Notes:
• The Lenovo server component serial numbers remain unchanged: they are the
same serial numbers that were used in the IBM server.
• The serial number prefix is the six characters of the 11S barcode that follow the
first 10 characters of the 11S barcode (the six characters preceding the
component serial number portion of the 11S barcode). In the following example,
the serial number prefix is shown in bold:
11S12X4567YJ1105A34567
number prefix, following the form:
asu64 set VPD.CompVPD_PrefixSerialNumber.# <prefix_s/n>--host <IMM_IP> --user
<IMM_userid> --password <IMM_password>
where:
• # is the component numeric identifier:
2 for the 8–socket midplane
3 for the front I/O panel assembly
4 for LCD display panel
Note: A serial number for the front I/O panel assembly (3) is not required.
• <prefix_s/n> is a 6–character component serial number prefix (the Lenovo
server and the IBM server use the same component serial number prefixes)
• <IMM_IP> is the IMM IP address
• <IMM_userid> is the IMM user name
• <IMM_password> is the IMM password
