NAME

board_id- read or write board ID values

SYNOPSIS

board_id [-r] -b  board_type -n  board_number
board_id -w -b  board_type -n  board_number -p  part_number -s  serial_number

CAUTION

This command is for use by Sun Microsystems manufacturing personnel only.

DESCRIPTION

board_id enables the Sun Microsystems manufacturing engineer to display (read) or assign (write) board ID values in the EEPROMs on the system board, centerplane, centerplane support board, control board, memory module, or I/O module.

If neither -r nor -w is specified, -r is the default.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-w

(Write) Assign the specified part number and serial number to the specified board. This option is for use by Sun Microsystems manufacturing personnel only.

-r

(Read) Display information about the specified board.

-b board_type

Read or write to the specified board type, where board_type is one of the following:

sb - System board

cp - Centerplane

cb - Control board

csb - Centerplane support board

mem - Memory module

io - I/O module

-n board_number

Read or write to the specified board number, where board_number is one of the following, as determined by the -b option:

A system board number, 0 to 15

A centerplane half, 0 or 1

A control board, 0 or 1

A centerplane support board, 0 or 1

A memory module, 0 to 15

An I/O module, 0 to 15

-p part_number

Assign the specified part number to the board, where part_number is expressed in the form ccc-aaaa-ss-rr, and where:

ccc is a 3-digit numeric category code. Currently, this code is 612

aaaa is a 4-digit numeric base part number (assembly number)

ss is a 2-digit numeric part number suffix

rr is a 2-digit numeric revision

-s serial_number

Assign the specified serial number to the board, where serial_number is a string of three to 12 printable, non-space characters.

EXAMPLES

---

Example 1 Using the board_id command:




Display information about Board 1 on the system board.

board_id -b sb -n 1

Assign part number 501-2341-12-01 and serial number 37KR59 to Board 1 on the system board.

board_id -w -b sb -n 1 -s 37KR59 -p 501-2341-12-01

Display information about Board 1 on the centerplane. Since neither -r nor -w are specified, board_id assumes -r (the default). And -r ignores both -s and -p.

board_id -b cp -n 1 -s 37KR59 -p 501-2341-12-01
