Part NumbersThe information on this page is taken from the most recent CD-ROM release of the Sun Field Engineer and System Handbooks which I have online here in my SunShack Data Archive.
Many of the part numbers listed on labelling and in documentation are not normally available as spare parts or as field replaceable service spares, also referred to as Field Replaceable Units, or FRU's, from Sun's spare parts division. That aside, a lot of the better US-based surplus dealers, and local Australian dealers such as SRK (my Sydney-based Sun surplus business) can often source and supply a lot of spare parts, etc. at prices much better than Sun offers them at. 8-)
