NetApp NS0-093 Exam - Topic 2 Question 23 Discussion

Posted by Laurel on Mar 08, 2026 at 10:58 PM

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

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.
