A CRU that probably will cause a partial or total 
system outage if the documented replacement 
procedure is not followed correctly. Customers 
replacing Class 3 CRUs should have six or more 
months’ experience replacing NonStop S-series 
CRUs or equivalent training. Customers must be 
able to use the tools needed for the replacement 
procedure, must protect components from 
electrostatic discharge (ESD), and must 
understand the dependencies involved in NonStop 
S-series CRU-replacement procedures, such as 
disk path switching. Replacement by a service 
provider trained by HP is recommended.

A unit that can be replaced in the field only by 
qualified personnel trained by HP and cannot be 
replaced by customers. A unit is classified as a 
FRU because of safety hazards such as weight, 
size, sharp edges, or electrical potential; 
contractual agreements with suppliers; or national 
or international standards.
Note. A cluster switch is neither a CRU nor a FRU. It is a collection of three components, 
which are included in Ta bl e D -1
: the ServerNet II Switch, the AC transfer switch, and the UPS.
