Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Report
Use the Capacity Planning tool to generate a report on field replaceable/upgradeable components (FRUs) in
your network devices. The FRU report provides valuable inventory information to help you plan your network
needs. For example, you can generate a report on power supplies and control modules, to help determine how
well your network devices are taking advantage of redundancy capabilities. In most cases, the report would be
based on current data from your devices. However, there is the option to collect historical data if you would
like to view a snapshot of your network's FRU components at an earlier time.
Report results can be exported as an HTML file or as a delimited text file. In addition, Capacity Planning
reports can be saved to use again at a later time, and they can also be scheduled to run at specified intervals
with report results sent out via a notification e−mail.
Flow
The flow chart below shows the sequence of windows that you will encounter when you create a FRU report
using the Capacity Planning tool. As you progress through the steps of creating a report, the tool's left panel
shows you a summary of your selections. You can click on the bold headings in this panel to navigate
backward or forward between steps allowing you to change your report parameters. The summary information
associated with each step appears in plain typeface beneath each step heading.
Click on blocks in the flow chart for more information about a specific window.
Select Report Window
Use this window to select either a report template or a saved report as your report type. Report templates are
based on common network capacity planning questions. After you have created a report using one of the
templates, you can save it (as a Saved Report) to use again at a later time. To create your FRU report, select
the "What field replaceable/upgradeable components (FRUs) do I have" report template.
