Field replaceable units
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are components that you can replace at your site. AltaVault systems have two types
of FRUs:
Hot-swappable FRUs: You can remove and replace these FRUs while the system is still powered on without
disrupting the operation of the system.
Non hot-swappable FRUs: You must perform a clean shutdown of the system and then power it down to
replace these FRUs.
You can swap the following system FRUs:
Fan modules: Hot-swappable
Power supplies: Hot-swappable
Controller module: Not hot-swappable
Each controller module has internal FRUs. The controller module internal FRUs are not hot-swappable. Use the
reload halt
command to ensure a clean shutdown, and then power off the controller to replace these FRUs.
The following internal FRUs in an AltaVault controller module are not hot-swappable:
Boot media device
RAID controller assemblies
Real-Time Clock (RTC) coin battery
System DIMM
Slot numbering and associated components
An AltaVault controller controls three fan modules. Controller A controls the fans in slots A1 through A3. If a
controller is removed from the chassis, the fans in all three associated fan modules stop spinning.
Three fan modules are shipped preinstalled on the front of the chassis in the slots labeled A1 through A3. The chassis
has six slots on the chassis front and four slots on the chassis rear. The bottom row of fan modules are replaced with a
blank because these fan modules are not required.
To locate chassis components in an AltaVault system

You must remove the front bezel to see the slots that contain the fan modules in the chassis.
