   Hmm, I don't think that's a P/N. IBM used the following format during   
   this era: nnXnnnn where n is a number and X a letter (usually F, G, H,   
   or X). But there are some exceptions to this rule (like the thin-carrier   
   Synchrostream chip used on some T4 "Y" complexes).   
      
   For example my PCI/MCA PC750 planar has the following P/Ns on it.   
   -one side of the riser connector: FRU P/N 40H4759, P/N 06H9588   
   -near the front edge of the PCB: P/N 40H4755   
      
   But IBM loved to move the stickers around. Or silkscreen some of the   
   numbers directly onto the PCB...
