Hi,

In our remote data center, we sent our data center team to locate the serial number (expected = 206xx) on the new VSP 1000 array. However, they can't locate it. Can anyone advise where it is physically located on the array please? A review of documentation doesn't provide any obvious clues.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello

 

If you look at the figure here. It should be between item 1&3, IE the blank space between the Contoller Panel and the MPB's.

PS: Because this has a hyperlink it has to go for approval first, which means this might show up only after the second response was posted with the location in the maintenance manual. I thought it would be good to have this here as well, since the picture here is a bit easier to see for the next person.

Hello

 

In the G1000 manual its called a name plate instead of Serial No, but the Serial No is located on the name plate.

 

@Michel Van Willigen​, kindly posted the location as well. Page in INST03-04-190, in Maintenance Manual 06inst3.
