Their location codes will always show that they are plugged into another part as components of the
server. Another example follows:, Un-P1-C9 is a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), with memory
DIMM (C9) plugged into a backplane (P1), which is inside the unit (Un).
Note: For devices, certain error conditions might cause an IBM i device to display the device location in
an AIX format.
Table 36. Unit type and locations
Unit type (Utttt.mmm) Link to location information

Location code labels
The location code label represents a physical part of the server. The following table describes the prefixes
of location code labels.
Note: These location code labels apply to system units only.
Table 37. Prefixes of location code labels for system units
Prefix Description Example
A Air-moving device Fan, blower
C Card connector IOP, IOA, DIMM, processor card
D Device Diskette, control panel
E Electrical Battery, power supply, ac charger
L Logical path SCSI target Integrated drive electronics (IDE) address, Fibre
Channel LUN
N Horizontal placement for an empty rack location
P Planar System backplane
T Port
U Unit
V Virtual planar
W Worldwide unique ID
X EIA value for an empty rack location
Y Firmware FRU
Worldwide unique identifier
The location code label for the worldwide unique identifier consists of the prefix W followed by a
maximum of 16 uppercase hexadecimal digits with no leading zeros. A location code might not include a
worldwide unique identifier. When present, the worldwide unique identifier location label follows the
location label of the resource that interfaces with the resource that has the worldwide unique identifier,
usually a port.
