Hello knaik99,

as explained by Leo the PID means Product ID.

>> if PID is unspecified then what is meaning of that

if PID is missing either the module or component is not recognized by the system or the part is so dumb that it misses intelligence=cpu and a EEPROM, for example a FAN tray may be not able to show the part number.

Edit:

another example could be a third party SFP optics in some cases.

Hope to help

Hi,

I am trying to get PID registered on cisco support, but the cisco device checker says it is invalid.

Can't we register a power supply for a C9200L switch?

NAME: "Switch 1 - Power Supply A", DESCR: "Switch 1 - Power Supply A"
PID: PWR-C5-125WAC , VID: V01 , SN: LXXXXXXXX

To create a TAC Case, provide the serial number of the switch. 

Once the TAC Case is created, provide the serial number of the faulty component, i. e.  the power supply serial number.
