Vital product data
Print Table 1 and use it to record information about your compute node.
You will need this information when you register the compute node with IBM. You can register the
compute node at http://www.ibm.com/support/mynotifications.
To determine the values for your compute node, use the management module and the lsvpd command. If
you are running the Linux operating system, download and install the service and productivity tools for
the Linux operating system to install the lsvpd command.
The model number and serial number are on the ID label that is behind the control panel door on the
front of the compute node, and on a label on the side of the compute node that is visible when the
compute node is not in the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
A set of blank labels comes with the compute node. When you install the compute node in the IBM Flex
System Enterprise Chassis, write identifying information on a label and place the label on the bezel. See
the documentation for your IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis for the location of the label placement.
Important: Do not place the label where it blocks any ventilation holes on the compute node or the IBM
Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
