Manageability - IBM Power Systems S822LC Technical Overview And Introduction

Concurrent maintenance
The following components can be replaced without powering off the server:
Drives in the front bay
Power supplies
Fans
The POWER8 processor-based systems are designed with the understanding that certain
components have higher intrinsic failure rates than others. These components can include
fans, power supplies, and physical storage devices. Other devices, such as I/O adapters, can
wear from repeated plugging and unplugging. For these reasons, these devices are
concurrently maintainable when properly configured. Concurrent maintenance is facilitated
because of the redundant design for the power supplies and physical storage.
IBM Knowledge Center
IBM Knowledge Center provides you with a single place where you can access product
documentation for IBM systems hardware, operating systems, and server software.
The purpose of IBM Knowledge Center, in addition to providing client-related product
information, is to provide softcopy information to diagnose and fix any problems that might
occur with the system. Because the information is electronically maintained, changes
because of updates or the addition of new capabilities can be used by service representatives
immediately.
The IBM Knowledge Center provides the following up-to-date documentation to service
effectively the system:
Quick Install Guide
User's Guide
