Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)

NewsShare NAS is a high-availability system, which means that if one
component of a system fails, the partner component keeps the system running.
However, it is crucial that you replace a failed part as soon as possible. To order
replacement parts, go to http://www.ciprico.com/csHome.shtml.

The following components are Field Replaceable Units (FRUs):

• Server node

• Drive

• Power supply in the array

• Array fan

• RAID controller

Most FRUs are hot-swapable (which means that they can be replaced while the
NewsShare NAS system is powered up and running); the exception is the RAID
controller.

>>> The RAID controller cannot be replaced while NewsShare NAS is powered up

and running. To replace a RAID controller, power down the system.

>>> Before replacing any part of the system, back up all data.

NewsShare NAS notifies you of the failure of a component in one or more of
the following ways:

If you set up SNMP (refer to page 53) and SMTP (refer to page 54)

• Status light on the component

• Via the NewsShare NAS software status bar. If a component fails, the Status

bar displays a status of “Degraded” or “Warning”.
