Component Serviceability, Locations, and Designations
Component Serviceability
The replaceable components in your server are designated as either a customer-replaceable unit
(CRU) or a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
A part designated as a FRU must be replaced by an Oracle-qualified service technician.
■
A part designated as a CRU can be replaced by a person who is not an Oracle-qualified
■
service technician.
If the component can be serviced while the server is powered on, it is called a hot-service
component. If the server has to be powered off before the component can be serviced, it is
called a cold-service component.
The following table lists the components, their service designations, and their serviceability.
