Which two of the following are field replaceable units (FRUs) on an AFF A220 system? (Choose two.)

ANVMEM battery

BmSATA boot device

CNVME Flash Cache feature

Dchassis fan

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

A . NVMEM battery

Explanation: The NVMEM (Non-Volatile Memory) battery is a critical component for retaining data in case of a power failure. It is classified as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) in an AFF A220 system.

Replacement Notes:

Replacement can be performed by field engineers.

The system will typically alert you when the battery requires replacement.

B . mSATA boot device

Explanation: The mSATA (mini-SATA) boot device contains the ONTAP operating system and is also a FRU in the AFF A220. It is critical for the system's boot process and can be replaced if it becomes faulty.

Replacement Notes:

Boot devices are easily replaceable while ensuring ONTAP is reinstalled on the new device.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

C . NVMe Flash Cache feature:

Incorrect. NVMe Flash Cache is not a physical FRU but a feature for accelerating read performance. It is implemented via software and NVMe-based SSDs, which are not specifically field replaceable in AFF A220.

D . Chassis fan:

Incorrect. The AFF A220 does not classify chassis fans as FRUs. These are usually part of the cooling system, but their replacement may require system shutdown or is integrated into the design.

I thought the NVME Flash Cache was also replaceable?

Wait, are you sure about the chassis fan? That seems odd.

I feel like both the mSATA boot device and the chassis fan are the right choices, but I could be mistaken.

I'm a bit confused; I thought the NVME Flash Cache feature was a software component, not a FRU.

Okay, I think the NVMEM battery and chassis fan are the two FRUs here. The mSATA boot device and NVME Flash Cache feature seem more like system components, but I'll double-check that.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the NVMEM battery is an FRU, but I'm not sure about the other components. I'll need to review the system documentation to be sure.

The NVMEM battery and chassis fan are definitely FRUs, I remember learning that in my training. The other two options seem less clear, so I'll focus on those two.

Hmm, I think the NVMEM battery and mSATA boot device are FRUs, but I'm not 100% confident. I'll need to double-check the details on the other components.

I'm feeling pretty confident that the NVMEM battery and the chassis fan are the two FRUs on the AFF A220. That mSATA boot device sounds like some kind of voodoo magic to me.

Haha, the NVME Flash Cache is like a hidden superpower, not a field replaceable unit! I'd say the NVMEM battery and chassis fan are the obvious choices here.
