Location codes

In the course of installing, removing, or replacing a PCI adapter you might need to read location codes when identifying system components. Use this section as a reference for interpreting location codes.

Note: If your server uses machine type and model number in its location codes, read through column one in the following table. If your server uses feature codes and sequence numbers in its location codes read through column two in the following table. Each column defines the numbers following the U in the beginning of the location code.
Utttt.mmm.sssssss-A1
Uffff.ccc.sssssss-A1
The leftmost code is always U The leftmost code is always U
tttt represents the unit type of the enclosure (drawer or node)
Note: Unit type is also known as machine type. This is the four digit name given to the system. Examples of unit type are: 9111, 9114, 7310 and 7040.
ffff represents the feature code of the enclosure (drawer or node)
Note: The feature code is a four digit number used by your systems marketing and sales team to order expansion units and other features for the system unit. An example of a feature code is: 8691 which is the (feature) or order number for the 7040-W42 server expansion frame.
mmm represents the model of the enclosure ccc represents the sequence number of the enclosure
sssssss represents the serial number for the enclosure sssssss represents the serial number of the enclosure
Note: The mmm or ccc number might not be displayed on all location codes for all servers. If the mmm value is not displayed, the location code is displayed in one of the following forms:
Utttt.sssssss-A1

OR

Uffff.sssssss-A1
