# Class CIM_FRU
extends CIM_ManagedElement

The CIM_FRU class is a vendor-defined collection of Products and/or PhysicalElements that is associated with a Product for the purpose of supporting, maintaining or upgrading that Product at the customer's location. FRU is an acronym for 'field replaceable unit'. The use of FRU has been deprecated in lieu of describing what is a valid replacement part for a piece of hardware (via the ElementFRU association from PhysicalElement to ReplacementFRU) and what has actually been replaced (the ElementHasBeenFRUed association between PhysicalElements).
