9. Vital Product Data
Vital Product Data (VPD) is product identification information for LINCS and its attached
devices. This information can be saved on a System disk while executing LINCS Vital Product
Data and Port Vital Product Data tests.
The Vital Product data on disk may be distributed to network sites using the CSCM feature. A
VPD ID may be defined to uniquely identify a particular VPD data object for CSCM functions.
Refer to the 1174 Central Site Operations Operator’s Manual for further information.
Extended Vital Product Data is user defined for a particular device. This information is saved
in the device, not on disk, and so cannot be distribute with CSCM.
