Narrative:
Climbed through assigned altitude of 5000 ft on departure. Flight had an aircraft change, last min, then there were some minor problems on taxi out. We did a lax xchk of fmp altitude panel. I recall setting 5000 ft in the original aircraft, but not in the second. When departure questioned our altitude (10000 ft was the altitude set which is the default EFIS setting).
