Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs)
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are router components that can be replaced at
the customer site. Replacing most FRUs r equires minimal router downtime.
The router uses the following types of FRUs:
Hot-removableandhot-insertableFRUs—Youcanremoveandreplacethese
components without powering down the r outer or disrupting the routing
functions.
Hot-pluggable FRUs—You can remove and replace these components without
powering down the router, but the routing functions of the system are
interrupted when the component is removed.
Table 4 lists the FRUs for the M160 router.

System Redundancy
The router is designed so that no single point of failure can cause the entire system
to fail. The following hardware components contribute to system redundancy:
Cooling system—When the temperature inside the router is below the
acceptable maximum, the cooling system’s components function at less than
full speed. If the temperature becomes excessive—for example, because a
cooling system component is removed—the MCS automatically increases the
speed of the remaining components to reduce the temperature. The cooling
