Using the FRU Inventory
The Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory records contain information about the components
that comprise the remote server. The information, based on the Intelligent Peripheral Management
Interface (IPMI) specification, includes such things as part numbers, serial numbers,
manufacturer’s names, version numbers, and asset tag numbers.
The contents of the FRU inventory files will help you to identify components that may be of
interest while troubleshooting a system failure. Using the FRU, you can
• Examine individual FRU inventory areas
• Save FRU inventory information to a file on the local or remote system
Click the FRU icon
in the Client SSU toolbar to start the FRU Manager. If a server connection
exists, you’ll see a status message to tell you that the FRU inventory records are loading. If no
server is connected, then you'll see a connect dialog.
Starting the FRU Manager adds an FRU menu to the toolbar, which you can use to see the FRU
properties or reload the FRU Manager.
The FRU Manager displays a hierarchical tree of FRU components, and detailed inventory
information for each selected unit. Highlight a component in the tree with the mouse to see its
associated inventory information.
