15 results about "Field replaceable unit" patented technology

A field-replaceable unit (FRU) is a printed circuit board, part, or assembly that can be quickly and easily removed from a computer or other piece of electronic equipment, and replaced by the user or a technician without having to send the entire product or system to a repair facility. FRUs allow a technician lacking in-depth product knowledge to isolate faults and replace faulty components. The granularity of FRUs in a system impacts total cost of ownership and support, including the costs of stocking spare parts, where spares are deployed to meet repair time goals, how diagnostic tools are designed and implemented, levels of training for field personnel, whether end-users can do their own FRU replacement, etc.

Proactive reservation of field replaceable units using predictive failure analysis and analytics

ActiveUS12554602B2Error avoidanceNon-redundant fault processingPredictive failure analysisField replaceable unit
A computational device determines whether a generated system event in the computational device is a critical error or a non-critical error. In response to determining that the generated system event is a critical error caused by a first field-replaceable unit (FRU), the critical error is processed to initiate tasks that lead to replacement of the first FRU in the computational device to eliminate the critical error. In response to determining that the generated system event is a non-critical error caused by a second FRU, operations are performed to proactively reserve a substitute FRU to replace the second FRU to eliminate the non-critical error, in anticipation of the second FRU failing at a future time to cause another critical error.
