Notes For VPD Text File Editing
• There needs to be one (1) space between the colon (:) and the first character of the data string.
• NO spaces, characters, tabs, etc. at the end of the data string. Do a Fn-End (Function-End) on the
LOGIQ
™ 9 keyboard to see the actual end of the line. Delete all spaces by back spacing to the text
string.
• Double click on a word to select it for editing.
• Copy a field like the date for multiple pasting by:
- Double clicking on the edited date field to select it.
-CTRL - C
to copy the field.
- Double clicking on the next field to edit.
-CTRL-V
to paste in the copied text.
- You can do multiple CTRL-V
operations for the text until you do another CTRL-C.
• Use the board descriptions listed in Table 8-10 recorded prior to replacing a board.
• The Back End Processor data is edited in the Backplane text file.
• The file defaults values may have ?????? in a field, however this must be changed to alpha or
alpha-numberic characters (whichever is valid for the field being updated).
• Some boards may already have data present (no ??????). If this is the case, simply verify the data
present with that recorded in the table and correct it if necessary.
• The EEP-PC VPD Data.txt file is for the PC2IP Board which is part of the Back End Processor FRU.
This file does not need to be updated.
