The system serial number contains all or most of the following fields of information: *

Year year of manufacture

Weekweek of manufacture

Plant manufacturing location

Product type of system manufactured

Software Beginning in July 1997, systems manufactured with

Shop Floor Execution use C up to fff units/week and

D if more than fff units/week are built.

The Shop Floor System did not use this field.

Build number alphanumeric or hexadecimal build number

An old copy of that page (circa 2003 vintage)

is mirrored at a non-Sun (non-official), third-party web site.
