Hi Eyad,
I'm pretty sure the part numbers don't work like that; do you have some information that suggests that they do?

You can look up part numbers here - http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main

What is it you are hoping to do by breaking the part numbers down?

Hi,

according to partsurfer this is

AB397A HP Srvr rx2620 4GB DDR Quad Memory

B9106AA HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment (Basic environment - no additional products included)

At least in the past Axxxx stands for enterprise hardware products, Bxxxx software (among others)...

Thanks for your help

But I need to know the key for the part number.

As it's obvious to everybody every company have a way of creating its part number

What I am looking for is how HP building the part number word.

Pls. open the attachment enclosed to find out what exactly I am looking for in HP server systems.

It doesn't work like this.

Eyad,
What you are talking about is a significant part number, one which is assigned based on what it applies to, and which can to some extent be decoded. Not everybody uses those; HP does not.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_number for a discussion of the two types. Significant part numbers tend to be longer. If you look at the HP part numbers, and the number of possible parts, it should be fairly obvious that they just couldn't be significant ones.
