The IBM 01DH175 (CCIN 562F / 563F) Vital Product Data (VPD) Card is an essential system identification module used in IBM Power Systems, including platforms such as the 9009-41A / 9009-42A series. It stores critical hardware identity and configuration information required for proper system initialization and firmware operation.
This VPD card contains important system-level data such as the machine type, model, serial number, system unique ID (SUID), and activation/configuration details. The system firmware relies on this information to correctly recognize hardware components and ensure the server operates with valid configuration settings.
Because it is a core identity component, the VPD card is tightly bound to the system it belongs to. If replaced, the system may require reprogramming or service-level configuration to restore full functionality. It is commonly used in enterprise environments where system tracking, reliability, and hardware validation are critical.
