For reference, here is a “decoder ring” for Cisco MCS 7800 product IDs.
Part Number syntax is usually MCS-78xx-yy-zzzz or MCS78xxyy-K9-zzzz.
●
For IPCBU servers, it is sufficient to use only MCS-78xx-yy to completely describe a server model/generation.
When distinguishing IPCBU vs. UCBU/CCBU/ETG servers, you should use the entire product ID.
●
xx is the Server Class: 7815, 7816, 7825, 7828, 7835, or 7845.
●
yy is the OEM Vendor and Model Generation: e.g., -H1 for HP 1st generation, -I2 for IBM 2nd generation, etc.
●
zzzz is a suffix indicating one or more of the following: Unique hardware configuration, bare-metal vs. a
factory-preloaded version of software, or which product the server belongs to. Here are some example
suffixes used:
◦ -IPC1, -IPC2: IPCBU “bare-metal” configurations
◦ -CMA1: factory install of Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.0
◦ -CMA2, -CMA2D: factory install of Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.1
