Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are packet transport router components that can be
replaced at the customer site. Replacing most FRUs requires minimal packet transport
router downtime. The packet transport router uses the following types of FRUs:
Hot-removable and hot-insertable FRUs—You can remove and replace these
components without powering off the packet transport router or disrupting the routing
functions.
Hot-pluggable FRUs—You can remove and replace these components without powering
down the packet transport router, but the routing functions of the system are interrupted
when the component is removed.
Before you replace a component in the host subsystem, you must take the host subsystem
offline.
Table 79 on page 260
lists the FRUs for the PTX5000.
