Select Monitors → Hardware VPD to view the VPD for the BladeCenter® unit. When the BladeCenter unit is started, the management module collects the vital product data and stores it in nonvolatile memory. The management module then modifies the stored VPD as components are added to or removed from the BladeCenter unit. The hardware VPD that is collected and stored varies by BladeCenter unit type.

Click a Module Name to display a page of additional inventory and port information. This can include the machine type or model number, serial number, and Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) MAC address.
