Can someone please list the components that are field replaceable units and also list what is not considered a FRU.
Thanks,

    To me an FRU is anything I can carry to a jobsite and replace on the spot - could be RAM, hard disk, ribbon cable, modem card, NIC, etc.

    A FRU can be just about any component of of a computer or computer network that a technician might work on or replace at a jobsite.

    think of it this way. if a technician is paid x amount of money for a call-out, there are certain things that the customer won't want to see the tech replacing at the higher rate. motherboards for example.

    I'd say any component short of a motherboard and a case.
    I'm not a complete idiot... some parts are missing.

    Traditionally FRUs are things like Power Supplies, Modems, NICs, Floppy Drives, CD-ROM Drives, Graphics Crards, RAM, Cables etc.
    Non-FRU were considered Motherboards, CPUs and Hard Drives.

    These days however just about everything is considered field replaceable ...
    Identify basic procedures for adding and removing field replaceable modules.

    System board - Power supply - Processor/CPU - Memory - Storage devices - Monitor - Modem - Input devices - Output devices

    From another source
    1.2 - Identify basic procedures for adding and removing field replaceable modules:
    System board - Power supply - Processor/CPU - Memory - Storage devices - Monitor - Modem - Input devices - Output devices. Portable system components covering Digital Cameras, Pointing Devices, PC Cards and DC Controllers.

    I guess except for the case that covers it icon_rolleyes.gif
