IBM PC Server/IBM PS/2 - Memory identification/Manufacturing to FRU cross-reference

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
From time to time IBM purchases memory components from outside sources. However, these purchases are controlled through Corporate Component Procurement (CCP) and the components or assemblies are built to IBM specifications and considered to be IBM Memory. To assist with identification of IBM supplied memory, the following information should be used :-
IBM memory (manufactured by IBM) will normally have the IBM logo or the letters IBM on the chips themselves. You should first look at these chips. If they have IBM on them, then they are IBM built SIMMs. If not, the following information should be used :-
Memory procured through CCP after December 1991 will have a label with the Part Number, FRU Number, and Configuration/Speed. Memory procured prior to December 1991 will have an assembly number etched, printed or affixed on the SIMM. Valid IBM assembly number will have the following layout -: NNANNNN Where N equals a numeric and A is an alpha.

The following assembly numbers represent a sample of the assembly numbers that apply to PS/2* SIMMs :-
1MB 68X6065 FRU 90X8624
65X6264 90X8624

42G3073 92F0098
71F7016 79F1004

Note:
1. CCP procured memory SIMMs CAN be replaced with IBM built memory SIMMs. You should order the FRU number and use the SIMM that you receive since both are considered IBM SIMMs.

2. PS/2 is a Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
