PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The revision level printed on the labels for the 7-slot Backplane
and the 11-slot Backplane for the A5000, A5100, and A5200 array are
different than the revision levels that are dynamically reported by
the arrays.
In general, the revision level of a FRU is incorporated into the part
number label affixed to the FRU. The revision level is typically the
"dash" component of the part number, ie, the revision level for part
number 
123456 would be -08.
The A5000, A5100, and A5200 can dynamically report the Backplane, and
other FRU, revision levels through two different mechanisms:
1) The revision level for these FRUs is reported by the "luxadm display
<enclosure_name>" command. The revision level is reported for each
FRU
independently. See the luxadm(1M) man page for further details.
2) The FRU revision level is reported by the Front Panel Module (FPM)
menu appropriate to the FRU in question. The revision level is reported
independently for each FRU at the FRU view menu. See the A5X00 User's
Guide for further details on the use of the FPM.
The following matrix shows the relationship between the revision levels
reported on the FRU label and the revision level reported by the luxadm
command and/or the FPM for the Backplanes.
In all cases, the revision level printed on the FRU label is the
correct level for the FRU and supersedes the revision level reported by
luxadm and the FPM.
Note that the revision level reported by the FPM and the luxadm command
match as both luxadm and the FPM derive the revision level of the FRU
by querying the array for the information dynamically.
