Service Before calling Hewlett-Packard or returning your RF section for service, please
read your warranty information. Warranty information is printed at the front
of this service guide.
Ordering Parts To order parts, contact the HP Service Center closest to you.
In any correspondence or telephone conversations, refer to the RF section by its full model
number and full serial number. With this information, the Hewlett-Packard representative can
determine whether your unit is still within its warranty period.

Determining Your RF Section's Serial Number
When a module is manufactured by Hewlett-Packard, it is given a unique serial number. This
serial number is attached to a label on the front frame or front panel of the module. A serial
number label is in two parts. (Refer to Figure 1-1.) The rst part makes up the serial number
pre x and consists of four digits and a letter. The second part makes up the serial number
sux and consists of the last ve digits on the serial number label. The serial number pre x is
the same for all identical modules; it only changes when a change in the electrical or physical
functionality is made. The serial number sux, however, changes sequentially and is dierent
for each module.

(For example, /OPV9000/70909A_10A:,1400,0 or /OPV9000/70909A_10A:HFS.)

SRM systems require that you enter the SRM select code and the node
address (for example, :,21,0 for an SRM system with a select code of 21
and a node address of 0). If a path is used, it must also be included.

Tip You can determine a complete directory path with the following steps:
a. Press 4Stop5 to exit the module veri cation software.
b. Assign the MSI (mass storage is:) of the SRM or HFS disk drive without
including a directory path and press 4Return5.
(For example, type MSI ":,1400,0" or MSI ":HFS".)
c. Type CAT at the HP BASIC command prompt and look at the directory path
that is displayed at the top of the listing.
If the top of the listing is not visible (due to a large number of les in the
current directory that cause the display to scroll up out of view), you can
either press the 4Prev5 button to view the top of the listing, or press 4Break5
before the top of the listing is scrolled out of view. In either case, you might
wish to write down the directory path so that you can enter it at the prompt
when needed.
d. Repeat this procedure, \Loading software les onto an HFS hard disk", from
the beginning.
