Hot-Pluggable Parts
Before beginning the removal of any serviceable parts, determine whether the part is
hot-pluggable or not hot-pluggable. If it is hot-pluggable, do not perform a power shutdown of
the server. The access panels can be removed while the server is powered up without causing a
system shutdown. When the server is in Standby mode, portions of the power supply, auxiliary
power (+5V), and some internal circuitry will remain active.
Non-Hot-Plug Parts
If any serviceable parts are not hot-pluggable, then the server must be shut down. Non-hot-plug
parts include the processor, Processor Power Module, system board, memory board, and
DIMMs.
IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to turn off the server to replace hot-plug devices, such as PCI Hot Plug
power supplies or hot-plug fans.
