The drive has two identifying numbers, the catalog number and the sales number.
A Catalog Number, which is explained on the next slide, is the long number. In the example
above the catalog number is VLT 5011-P-T2-CN1-ST-R0-DL-F00-A00.
When ordered, the Catalog Number is converted into a Sales Number which is much less
cumbersome. In the example above 178B3372 is the Sales Number.
The Serial Number, 805016H332 indicates the series, revision, place and date of
manufacturing, and is very important concerning warranty work. The last 3 numbers
indicate the week followed by the year. In this example 332, means week 33 of 2002.
Input and Output ratings are also placed on the label for an additional check.
