Serial Numbers?

[Rich Loeber <rich@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Ever since I can remember, serial numbers on the i have been 7 character
   codes that start with either 10, 44 or 65.  The first two digits indicate
   where the system was manufactured, 10 being in the US, 44 in Europe and 65
   in Asia. 

   Recently, a customer contacted me to report that they are moving to a new
   blade server and the serial number starts with '06'.   They don't actually
   have the new systems installed yet, and I have seen in the past where
   customers have reported unusual serial numbers to me in advance only to
   find out that the old 10/44/65 rule was still in effect when they system
   was installed and they checked the QSRLNBR system value.

   My question, is '06' a valid new prefix for blade servers running i/OS?
