unit, power supply, and I/O.
== Controller
A controller consists of a board, firmware, and software. It controls the drives and implements the ONTAP
functions.
== DIMM
You must replace a DIMM (dual in-line memory module) when a memory mismatch is present, or you
have a failed DIMM.
== Fan
The fan cools the controller.
== NVDIMM battery
A NVDIMM battery is responsible for maintaining power to the NVDIMM module.
== NVDIMM
The NVDIMM (non-volatile dual in-line memory module) manages the data
transfer from the volatile memory to the non-volatile storage, and
maintains data integrity in the event of a power loss or system
shutdown.
== PCIe or Mezzanine card
A PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) card is an expansion card that plugs into the PCIe
slot on the motherboard.
A Mezzanine card is an expansion card that is designed to be inserted into a specialized slot on the
motherboard.
== Power supply
A power supply provides a redundant power source in a controller shelf.
== Real time clock battery
A real time clock battery preserves system date and time information if the power is off.
