Controller Components

When replacing a component, you must know its part number and whether it is hot serviceable. Having that information helps you to order the correct replacement component and to determine whether you can replace the component yourself. To locate part numbers, open Oracle System Handbook (https://support.oracle.com/handbook_private/index.html). The part numbers are listed in the Oracle FS1 Flash Storage System components list.

The Controller is a two rack-unit (2U) server and consists of several replaceable components. Many Controller components are customer replaceable (CRUs), while others are field replaceable units (FRUs) that require Oracle Customer Support to perform the replacement. Also, some components are hot-serviceable, meaning that they can be replaced, while the Controller is powered on. Some of the Controller component replacement procedures require the Controller to be powered off and/or removed from the rack. The following table provides a summary of the Controller FRUs and CRUs.

Some FRUs and CRUs can be accessed from the front or back of the Controller. For replacing other FRUs and CRUs, you must open the top cover of the Controller. The following figure shows the components located at the back of the Controller.
