CRUs and FRUs
All electrical and non-static mechanical components of the 3576 Tape Library are
either customer replaceable units (CRU) or field replaceable units (FRU). A CRU is
a component that customers can remove or replace themselves, whereas a FRU is a
component that only service personnel should remove or replace.
When servicing a FRU, you may also need to service a CRU. Therefore, all CRUs
and FRUs for the library are itemized in the following table.
