1.7 Locating E5-APP-B Card Part Numbers

Each E5-APP-B card FRU has labels that contain the following information that may be needed for the RMA:

  • Part number (to identify the type of FRU)

  • Serial number (to provide more information about the specific FRU)

  • CLEI (Common Language Equipment Identifier, a label that identifies the manufacturer and the part)

In addition to part numbers on each FRU, the E5-APP-B card has several labels that contain part number information for drive module FRUs on the E5-APP-B card. These labels allow part number information to be gathered without removing the E5-APP-B card.

To locate the part number information, use the indicated procedure below:

1.7.1 Locating E5-APP-B Card Part Number Information

The part number information for the E5-APP-B card is located on the label on the faceplate of the E5-APP-B card. Use this label to verify the correct part number if you ever need to replace the E5-APP-B card.

  1. Request assistance from My Oracle Support (MOS) to determine which slot (1 through 17) contains the E5-APP-B card that needs to be replaced.
  2. See Locating Drive Module Assembly Part Number Information for the location information of each E5-APP-B card on the label.

    warning:

    Always wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to the bench or frame when working on electronic components.

1.7.2 Locating Drive Module Assembly Part Number Information

The part number information for drive module assemblies is located on the label on the drive module assembly. Use this label to verify the correct part number if you ever need to replace a drive module assembly. See Figure 1-1.
