The boot media stores a primary and secondary set of boot image files that the system uses when it boots.

You must replace the controller's caching module when your system registers a single AutoSupport (ASUP) message that the module has gone offline.

The chassis is the physical enclosure housing all the controller components such as the controller/CPU unit, power supply, and I/O.

A controller consists of a board, firmware, and software. It controls the drives and implements the ONTAP functions.

You must replace a DIMM (dual in-line memory module) when a memory mismatch is present, or you have a failed DIMM.

A drive is a device that provides the physical storage media for data.

A battery is included with a controller and preserves cached data if the AC power fails.

A power supply provides a redundant power source in a controller shelf.

A real time clock battery preserves system date and time information if the power is off.
