FIELD REPLACEABLE UNITS

Power supply/fan assembly units are the only Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) in the Brocade 5000.
There are two power supply/fan assembly units in the Brocade 5000. They are hot-swappable and
redundant, and capable of functioning universally without voltage jumpers or switches. The FRU
units are identical and interchangeable. The front panel of the FRUs has a status LED to indicate
status of the unit.
