Model Number and Ordering Information
All Compro products are identified by unique model numbers. Service program model numbers are the same as product model numbers with the addition of a two-digit prefix. The first digit of this prefix denotes a Customer Service product (F) and the second digit denotes the type of service (i.e., Premier, Standard, SUS, etc.). The breakdown of these prefixes are as follows:
- FL = Premier Hardware Support (PHS)
- FD = Standard Hardware Support (SHS)
- FU = Software Update Service (SUS)
- FP = Premier Software Support (PSS)
- FS = Standard Software Support (SSS)
- FR = Remote Hardware Support (RHS)
- FM = Mature Software Support (MSS)
Note: All 91 Series computer systems bundle the operating system and other software products with the system price. As a result, there is a separate price for hardware and software maintenance. The software maintenance price will appear in the software section and the hardware maintenance price will appear in the hardware section of the Customer Services Price List. The base part number will remain the same but the service two-digit prefix will change.
All contract maintenance service pricing is represented in Monthly Maintenance Rate (MMR) dollars, except Software Update Service (SUS) and Mature Software Support (MSS) which are represented in Annual Support Rate (ASR) dollars.
