FRU is an acronym of "Field Replicable Unit". It indicates a component of a computer system that can be replaced by a field service technician on a customer site. The contrasts with "CRU" or "Customer Replaceable Unit" which does not require a field service tech to perform the replacement.
FRU naming and access are defined in the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) specification maintained by Intel Corporation here:
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/spec.htm
FRU information is most often accessible using the IPMI protocol either via the IPMI drivers on a running computer or through a Service Processor.
These are the most common FRU devices.
- CPUs
- RAM modules
- System drives, such as floppy, hard drives, and optical drives
- Bus devices, such as video cards and sound cards
- Power supply units
- Cooling fans
- Peripherals, such as keyboards, mice, printers, and the cables connecting them

How can you check the temperature of your processor?
Most newer motherboards will display sensor information in their BIOS. SpeedFan, a Windows program, can also read the sensors on your motherboard and processor.
What is the difference between a laptop motherboard and PC motherboards?
Desktop motherboards all conform to one of several standard form factors, such as ATX, microATX, NLX, or mini-ITX. The motherboards in laptops, however, all have different sizes and are custom fitted for the laptop chassis. Laptop motherboards do not typically provide the number of expansion slots found in desktop motherboards.
