Hardware VPD
Select this choice to view the hardware vital product data (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. You can access this information at any time from
almost any computer.
Firmware VPD
Select this choice to view the vital product data (VPD) for the
firmware in all blade servers and the switch modules and

identifies the firmware type, build ID, release date, and revision
number. The VPD for the firmware in the management module
includes the file name of the firmware components. (Selecting this
choice takes 3 to 4 minutes to refresh and display information.)
