Understanding Oracle Parts Numbers

Solution

Steps to Follow
For customers who do their own hardware support, there is a need to
understand how to find and interpret part numbers on Sun[TM] hardware.

Sun uses labels with barcodes to mark their supported parts. Markings
can be categorized in two main types: Sun Manufactured and SUN O.E.M.
(Original Equipment Manufacturer).
SUN MANUFACTURED MARKINGS
This label is used on parts which originate from Sun.  This includes
system boards, CPU's, memories, and SBUS cards. The label is one
barcode with a 13 digit number. It may also include other stickers
near the part number with revision information. An example would be;
5012919014248   -03 REV. 50
The first 7 numbers (5012919) represent the part number.
501 represents the "class number" and indicates that the part is a
"tested PCB"
2919 is the base number. This base number is for a
SunFastEthernet[TM] 2.0 SBUS card.
	
NOTE:  To order a replacement part the class and base number are the
only numbers you generally need (e.g., 501-2919).
The next 6 numbers (014248) represent the serial number of the board.
The numbers shown below are usually found on a separate sticker or stickers
near the part number. The sticker generally has no barcode.
	-03 , which is sometimes seen as "dash 03" represents any hardware
	ECO's or other major changes that have been added to the board and
	can change board function.
	Rev. 50 represents drawing or other minor changes that do not affect
	how the board functions.
	
SUN O.E.M. MARKINGS
This type of labeling is used on parts which are from another
manufacturer that are incorporated into a Sun system. Examples of these
parts include graphic monitors, disk drives, and keyboards.
These parts typically have two barcoded labels. Here is an example:
0020772-9521170802
3701844-03
	0020772 - This may be the P.O. or lot number of the shipment.
	9521 - Year and week of year that part was put into service.
	170802 - Serial number, matches last 6 digits on O.E.M. serial number
	
	3701884- Class and base number, this is a Seagate ST5660N disk.
	-03 is same as the "dash number" revision
	
MULTIPLE PART NUMBERS
Many parts such as system boards or disks may have two class and base
numbers. One represents the base part and the other represents the
assembly.
Example 1
An Ultra[TM] 2 system board has two numbers;
5013132012345 and 5012968012345.
501-3132 represents the base board only. This is the part that would be
ordered.
501-2968 represents the base board that originally had four 32 Mb SIMMs and
two 167 Mhz CPU's attached to it.
		
Example 2
A disk drive has two numbers.
5402443-05 and 3701844-03
3701844 is the base number for a Seagate Disk.
540-2443 is a 535 Mb disk with a bracket for a SPARCstation(R) 5 or
SPARCstation 20.
References:
Part numbers can be found in the Sun Field Engineer Handbook (FEH)or the
Sun(TM) System Handbook(SYSHBK).
Specific information on class codes and system serial number breakdown
can be found at the beginning of Volume II (Parts Breakdown/Class Codes)In
the Sun FEH or under General Information in the SYSHBK.

Internal Comments
For internal Sun use only.

If anyone has a better description (and origin) of what I am
calling "P.O. or lot number" let me know.
