Server component classification, Hot-swappable components

Page 104 highlights

Server component classification The server components are classified into three major categories: • Hot-swappable • Hot-pluggable • Cold-swappable A brief explanation of each category and the classifications for the server components follow. Hot-swappable components A component is defined as hot-swappable if you can remove it from the server while the server remains operational, and requires no software intervention prior to removing the component. NOTE: Hot-swappable components are signified with red touch points. The following are hot-swappable components: • Power supplies (only if two are installed) • Server fan Hot-pluggable components A component is defined as hot-pluggable if you can remove it from the server while the server remains operational, but software intervention is required prior to removing the component. NOTE: Hot-pluggable components are signified with red touch points. The only hot-pluggable components are the SAS disk drives: Cold-swappable components To remove and replace cold-swappable components (components that are neither hot-swappable nor hot-pluggable), shut down the operating system and power off the server. For complete instructions on shutting down the operating system and powering off the server, see Chapter 4 (page 61). 104 Removal and replacement procedures

Server component classification
The server components are classified into three major categories:
Hot-swappable
Hot-pluggable
Cold-swappable
A brief explanation of each category and the classifications for the server components follow.
Hot-swappable components
A component is defined as hot-swappable if you can remove it from the server while the server
remains operational, and requires no software intervention prior to removing the component.
NOTE:
Hot-swappable components are signified with red touch points.
The following are hot-swappable components:
Power supplies (only if two are installed)
Server fan
Hot-pluggable components
A component is defined as hot-pluggable if you can remove it from the server while the server
remains operational, but software intervention is required prior to removing the component.
NOTE:
Hot-pluggable components are signified with red touch points.
The only hot-pluggable components are the SAS disk drives:
Cold-swappable components
To remove and replace cold-swappable components (components that are neither hot-swappable
nor hot-pluggable), shut down the operating system and power off the server. For complete
instructions on shutting down the operating system and powering off the server, see
Chapter 4
(page 61)
