System unique identifier
The system unique identifier (SUID) is a 12-character ID that is assigned by the manufacturer.
New systems are shipped with the specific value assigned. The SUID is used by specific software support to identify that a system object model was generated.
A new SUID can be assigned for the following reasons:
- If the serial number that was entered is not the serial number that was previously assigned and stored on the system.
- If 256 Licensed Internal Code (scratch) installation were performed on the system.
The SUID is needed only to support system object model software functions. An incorrect SUID does not affect other system functions. To order a new SUID, contact the marketing representative (hardware feature code 1311).
