* 'Define installed ' this is when the CE installs the system, tests it and in IBM Speak reports it as 'Code 20' (the actual process may have changed a bit) and via RSF (if available) uploads the VPD from the system. * 'OPs requirement' was for the equivalent for a 'packing slip'. If the Systems are still in their packaging or not installed, to get the required info before installation, the earlier responses from others including myself explained what the OP needed to do. * For a system which is still in it's packaging/not installed, VPD is a red herring.

Define “installed” – and is this not the OP’s case?
