    CAUTION: The power supplies are hot swappable, which means they can be removed and replaced while the chassis is powered on and running. However, IBM recommends that you disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet before removing and replacing the supply. The device can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.
