• You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap drives, hotswap fans, Active PCI (hot-plug) adapters, or hot-plug USB devices. • The orange color on components and labels in the server identifies hot-swap or hot-plug components. This means that you can install or remove the component while the system is running, provided that the system is configured to support this function. • The blue color on components and labels identifies touch points where you can grip a component, move a latch, and so on. • Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install. • Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. • For a list of supported options for the Netfinity 6000R, refer to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.
