contain up to five FRUs. Eight characters of this data represent a single FRU. The
FRU characters have two parts: a unit reference code, and a type number. The
location of this data is shown below:

PANEL FUNC 13: DATA0016 DATA0017
DATA0018 DATA0019
The FRU information for FRU 1 would be RC01 and TP01, for FRU 2 would be
RC02 and TP02, etc.
Characters Description / Meaning Length
RC01 FRU 1 - Ref Code 4 Characters
TP01 FRU 1 - Type 4 Characters
RC02 FRU 2 - Ref Code 4 Characters
TP02 FRU 2 - Type 4 Characters
RC03, TP03, RC04, TP04, RC05, TP05 same as above.
DATA012, DATA013,
DATA016, DATA017,
DATA018, DATA019 Miscellaneous Data - Not applicable, but
may be needed for your next level of
support. 8 Characters
The example below shows relevant data for three FRUs:
RC01=4300, TP01=245C, RC02=8200, TP02=2881, RC03=8600, TP03=2732,
the remaining values are zeroes.
