T320 Router FRU Overview

Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are router components that can be replaced at the customer site. Replacing most FRUs requires minimal router downtime. The router uses the following types of FRUs:

  • Hot-removable and hot-insertable FRUs—You can remove and replace these components without powering off the router or disrupting the routing functions.
  • Hot-pluggable FRUs—You can remove and replace these components without powering down the router, but the routing functions of the system are interrupted when the component is removed.

If the router contains a redundant host subsystem, the Control Board (T-CB), and the Routing Engine are hot-removable and hot-insertable. Before you replace a T-CB or Routing Engine, you must take the host subsystem offline.

Table 1 lists the FRUs for the T320 Core router.
